Red scarf girl a memoir of the Cultural Revolution

I read this years ago. I'd studied some about the Cultural Revolution in school, and this was a book we followed it up with. It was a fascinating read about what happened during the Communist takeover, even to one who had been a committed member of the Communist party. Chilling, too; especially since the time is largely forgotten now. And you know the famous quote about being doomed to repeat the history we forget....

I enjoyed this book - it was a quick read as it designed for preteens but I love biographies.

Very moving story! I recommend!
