Tuesday, January 27 at 7:30 p.m. The Chinese Communist Party is without question the most powerful political party in the world today. How did it come to power? In his forthcoming book, the leading historian of modern China provides an answer. Frank Dikotter is the author of a dozen books on modern China, including the award-winning Mao's Red Famine, among others. Red Dawn Over China has been described as "the most important reappraisal of modern China to appear in years."
