Victims of the Cultural Revolution: Testimonies of China's Tragedy

China's Cultural Revolution ended less than fifty years ago, but already it is passing from memory. Its victims number in the millions, and yet their stories remain untold. For over forty years, Professor Wang Youqin of Chicago University has been working to gather oral testimony on the Cultural Revolution, and has amassed the accounts of more than 600 victims. Collected here for the first time, Victims of the Cultural Revolution is a monument to the suffering of the people in one of the most brutal periods in modern China, restored to history before it is forgotten.
