Mao killed more people than Hitler and Stalin

Dear Editor,

I refer to Vishnu Bisram’s letter captioned “Left Wing Governments are not free of corruption” (08/03/03).

While Mr Bisram makes several valid points, I fear that he is looking back at Chair-man Mao Tse Tung’s regime through rose tinted spectacles. Mao Tse Tung, whether directly or indirectly, killed more people than Hitler and Stalin put together.

Yours faithfully,

Adam Frankowski
