Escape from Red China
The experiences and attitudes of a man who lived under Chinese Communism, rising to a position of importance before his decision to flee to the West, whose story describes much of life and society under Maoism.
The Tragedy of Liberation
In 1949 Mao Zedong hoisted the red flag over Beijing's Forbidden City.

A gripping account of how people from all walks of life were caught up in a tragedy that sent at least five million civilians to their deaths.
