| RED STAR OVER CHINA China's liberation from colonialism would not have been possible without the revolutionary Mao Tse-tung. He is one of the great figures of the 20th century. It is a pity that he is also remembered for such blunders as the Great Leap Forward, whose failure led to great starvation, and to the confusion of the Cultural Revolution. | |
