Summary
Between 1958 and 1962, China lived through tragedy on an epic scale. The ""Great Leap Forward"" -- conceived by Mao so that China could drive industrial output ahead of Great Britain and achieve autonomy from the might of the neighbouring USSR -- led to a catastrophic famine resulting in the death of between 36 and 55 million people.
