Translated from the Chinese. Includes bibliographical references and index.
Summary:
This book discusses about what is often called the Great Leap Famine which occurred in China during the years from 1959 to 1961. Scholarly consensus suggests that 30 million Chinese perished. Yang Songlin's book provides an evidence-based, systematic and substantial rebuff, concluding on a much smaller number of deaths. This book is of interest to scholars of China and Chinese development and politics, economists, and demographers.
