Good youtube video here about the Great Leap, including footage of Mao's bizarre sparrow cull. Narrated by Tom Baker, it is a pretty sound account.

Eastern Europe Revision - A-level students
The 'History Today' articles used in the revision session, together with some others, have now been added to the A-level Presentations page (see link opposite). You can access them directly here.
Do use the comments facility to ask for any further clarification, or if you want to request a further revision session on China. I will add further China links to the blog as I find them.
Finally, for A2 students, the British course you are studying is the subject of one of the 'Grade-Buster Guides' on 'history-ontheweb'; you have to go to the Study Centre to find it. You need to use the user name and password given in class to access it, but it is a very comprehensive coverage, and well worth using.
