Depressingly, although not surprisingly, this China historian continues to rake in book sales, despite the consistently poor academic response to his work
The original cover of MGF showed a starving child in rags, begging for food. Against, naturally, a red background.
When a scholar asked him why the image was from Life Magazine's August 1942 issue, Dr.D. explained that he could find no images of famine from MGF. Oh.
Opportunity is always knocking on his door and, when he opens it, UK and US governments literally throw millions in. He used to advertise the fact on his website but people asked questions.
Here's a first hand account of MGF from someone who lived through it:
Many thanks for that compilation.
