Need to get both of those toute suite. I’m fascinated by the American Revolution and have heard nothing but great things about Atkinson as a writer and storyteller.
I started on Frank Dikötter’s series about China beginning with, The Tragedy of Liberation – A History of the Chinese Revolution 1945-1957.
Also in the series:
Mao’s Great Famine – The History of China’s Most Devastating Catastrophe, 1958-62
The Cultural Revolution – A People’s History, 1962—1976
China After Mao – The Rise of a Superpower
