No doubt there was some cannibalism due to starvation, as has occurred many times in many places throughout history.
I can’t remember where I read it, but I read of accounts of mid-level Chinese Communist members encouraging and in some cases the eating of dissidents, just like some tribes in the Amazon and remote South Pacific islands are said to have done this to enemy tribes up until fairly recently.
Of course, Idi Amin was said....
Missing word. Meant to write “demanding the eating of dissidents.”
I want to say I read about this in an edition of The Reader’s Digest as a kid.
