Is Mao’s Cultural Revolution The Worst One Yet?

Author and historian Steven W. Mosher walks us through an in-depth analysis of what is considered one of the most brutal and fatal revolutions in recent history. China’s communist leader, Chairman Mao, needed a way to solidify his power after a decade in charge, and he put on one of the best propaganda displays to incite the youth to go out and destroy. Mosher describes the political and physical cannibalism that took place in a country of over half a billion people.
