There is no doubt that the Great Leap Famine in China more than half a century
ago was the worst man-made calamity of modern times. Between early 1958 and the
spring of 1961, somewhere between 30 and 45 million people died. The more
cautious figure is five million more than the population of Scandinavia, the
higher one the current population of Spain.
