(d) "Mr Dikötter is described by some as the Robert Conquest of China, for having laid bare the mass-murderous extent of Mao's rule. But the comparison with the Englishman is specious: Conquest, a game-changing historian in his own right, didn't have the opportunity to go to the archives in the Soviet Union. (Once they opened, he was, of course, vindicated.)"
