A frank look into the long-term, and ongoing rewriting of history by the CCP, as well as the brave few who manage to continue to document and catalog the past as a time capsule for future generations.

Amazing how one of the largest man-made mass deaths is little known, and almost never studied in Western history. This book opens more questions than it answers, but helpfully comes with a guide for where to go next to learn more.

Not particularly cheery, but there is a glimmer of hope that shines throughout.
