Description

 In this episode, we’re returning to communist China after the death of Chairman Mao, and learning about one of the grimmest moments of the 1980s: Tiananmen Square.

Footage and photographs of the Chinese army cracking down on protesters travel around the world - but due to state censorship, much about the massacre there is still unknown.

 We’re joined by special guest Jeff Wasserstrom, who is a professor of history at the University of California, Irvine. Jeff’s area of particular interest is China and Hong Kong.
