I've been away for three years, and return with a review of a stunning book about the worst cataclysm in China's history, Mao's Great Leap Forward, which left at least 45 million people dead. It's relevant to the recent Wikileaks revelations about China's ruling "Party", because falsifying statistics led to the Great Leap famine, and the Chinese Communist Party is still fudging its statistics to keep itself in power!
