Heroes of China's Great Leap Forward: Two Stories
Richard King
The objective of the Great Leap, when it was launched in the late 1950s, was to catapult China into the ranks of the great military and industrial powers with no assistance from the outside world; it resulted in a famine that killed tens of millions. This title presents contrasting narratives of this mass movement in modern Chinese history.
