Mao Zedong was one of the most brutal dictators in history, leading the Chinese Communist Party through a reign of terror that starved, oppressed, and killed over 50 million people. In this PragerU 5-Minute Video, Paul Kengor, Professor of Political Science at Grove City College, uncovers the horrific truth about Mao’s regime—from the Great Leap Forward to the Cultural Revolution—and the devastating impact of communism on China in the 20th century. Discover why Mao’s legacy remains a chilling warning.
