Special Presentation
The Tragedy of Liberation: A History of the Communist Revolution, 1945-1957
Frank Dikötter, University of Hong Kong
Frank Dikötter draws on newly opened party archives, interviews, and memoirs to cast new light on the foundations of one of the most powerful regimes of our times. Abundant archival material has become available over the past decade that allows historians to
look in much greater detail at some of the defining episodes of the first eight years of Chairman Mao’s regime, including land distribution, the organized terror unleashed against enemies from 1951 to 1952, the Korean War, thought reform as well as a sustained
attack against private enterprise. Dikötter’s new book The Tragedy of Liberation characterizes the period as an “era of systematic violence and calculated terror,” and in this talk the author reflects on the nature of the archival evidence that has
led him to reach this conclusion.
