FINDING THE FACTS ABOUT MAO’S VICTIMS

With all the interest in Frank Dikötter’s new book on China’s Great Famine of 1958-1961, I thought it would be interesting to talk to Yang Jisheng, whose book “Tombstone” is the more authoritative book to come out on famine–and in many ways goes into more depth than Dikötter’s. The Q&A can be found on the NYRB blog, accessible here.
