A Strange Bird Part II


Listen Later

If you’re a fan of the Missing Chapter, you may recognize the title of today’s episode.  If you’re a newbie to all things Missing Chapter, well, welcome to Part II of the crazy bird campaign from another bird-brained dictator.  This time, it’s not Kim Jung Un from North Korea, although the stories are eerily similar, we’re focused on Mao Zedong from China, and Mao’s first order of business - a violent campaign, a declaration of war even, against a threat to his authoritarian regime - what was the threat you ask?  Well it wasn’t the expansion of an imperialist nation or a rising threat on his borders, it was against birds.  You heard me right, birds.  Why would anyone, no less a feared authoritarian leader, make such an odd declaration, especially against birds?  Find out today on this episode of the Missing Chapter.
