VOICES FROM THE WHIRLWIND

Rating:
Summary: Riveting
Review: In this book, people of all ages and walks of life describe what they experienced and witnessed during the Chinese Cultural Revolution. As their world is turned upside down, hapless victims of communist political correctness struggle to survive the persecution of authorities, neighbors, co-workers, friends, and even family. The stories are written in a very straight-forward style---they need no dramatic language to grab the reader's attention. These shocking tales often seem too bizarre to be real, and yet they serve as an important reminder of how cruel and petty the human race can become under the leadership of a tyrannical despot. The reader will surely find this book one of the most memorable reading experiences of his life.
