Negative Positive
Title: *
Review: The author is obviously a communist, and I got sick of all the leftist sermonizing. Absurd and callous sermonizing. Take these ridiculous thoughts from p. 120: "Mao's dictatorial social engineering had its disastrous effects too - an estimated 20 million died in the famine caused by the Great Leap Forward...But the Chinese Revolution still deserves to be seen as a fantastic achievment." I'm not making this up!! I think any of those 20 million would disagree about Mao having committed a "fantastic achievment." Mr. Brazier might want to look at page 5 of THE BLACK BOOK OF COMMUNISM published by the Harvard University Press, where it says: "China's experience under Mao is unprecedented in terms of the sheer number of people who lost their lives...65 million." Brazier wrote a silly, silly book.
Is the review positive or negative?
