‘The "cultural revolution," which lasted from May 1966 to October 1976, was responsible for the most severe setback and the heaviest losses suffered by the [Chinese Communist] Party [CCP], the state and the people since the founding of the [Chinese] People's Republic. It was initiated and led by Comrade Mao Zedong.’That was the official CCP verdict after it was all over.This course examines that verdict and attempts to assess its accuracy.
