<p>[QUOTE=&quot;EWC3, post: 3254769, member: 93416&quot;]It&#039;s entirely plausible that the downfall of Mang was the bloodiest civil war ever fought.&nbsp; Contemporary texts suggest about 26 million died altogether, many from starvation, out of a total population of about 50 million.&nbsp; (Pol Pot managed a similar proportion, but on a much smaller total population).</p><p><br /></p><p>Its interesting to note then that although the Han historian on the winning side hated Mang - they still seem to give more accurate and balanced account of his policies than modern historians have given.&nbsp; Reading ancient text on Mang gives an interesting window on our own times too....................</p><p><br /></p><p>Rob T[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
