A rapid descent into madness was how the Americans viewed China’s policies in the 1950s and 1960s as they waged a Cold War on Communism. “China: The Roots of Madness,” picks apart the rising tensions between what was once America’s greatest ally in Asia, starting as far back as one hundred and seventy years prior to the production of the film, in order to understand the ‘madness’ of communist China. Highlights include: the political policies of Mao Tse-Tung, the Boxer Rebellion, discussion with ranking Chinese historians/political experts, and the political upheaval of a century. It also includes historically rich photographs and lithographs from the 1800s.
