MAO: The Unknown Story, by Jung Chang and Jon Halliday.

Jung Chang, in her biography Mao: The Unknown Story, calculates that in four years 38 million people died of starvation and overwork.

Also, the subtitle is "The Unknown Story" - which, after all that has been written about Mao, made me cringe.

Mao: The Unknown Story became a bestseller, with UK sales alone reaching 60,000 in six months.

But it is not so surprising given that "Mao: The Unknown Story" has been embraced by the right as a searing indictment of Communism.

Similarly, Jung Chang, one of the authors of Mao: The Unknown Story, was a Red Guard in her youth.
