The Tragedy of Liberation

That period was pivotal in shaping modern China, but I wonder what led the author to concentrate specifically on these years. Was it the wealth of available sources or something else?

The book's thoroughness brought the tumult to life, but I found myself wishing for more personal stories. How did others connect with the broader political narrative?

With so many perspectives and accounts, it must have been challenging to balance different viewpoints. I'm curious about the research process behind this detailed history.
