John Tusa on the century that created totalitarianism, and then survived it
The century that created totalitarianism, and then survived it, and the half of humanity that suffered under two systems, fascism and communism, symbolised by three men: Hitler, Stalin, and Mao.
"You know in a totalitarian state, nobody is himself, everybody's acting, telling lies has to become a second nature in order to survive. Isn't it sad? They destroy a man's soul." Nien Cheng, imprisoned under Mao.
