The"Great Leap Forward" was an economiccampaign conceived by Mao Zedong totransform China's vast population from anagrarian economy to a modern communistsociety through the process ofindustrialization and collectivization. Inreality, it led to a famine resulting in thedeath of as many as fifty-five millionpeople. But while millions were starving todeath, China's grain stores remained full.Using previously unheard testimony bysurvivors, rare archival footage, secretdocuments, and interviews with theleading historians on this catastrophe,Mao's Great Famine provides, for the firsttime, an insight into the insanity of thisdisastrous program. Today the ChineseCommunist Party whitewashes thecatastrophe calling it "three years ofnatural disasters."
