- Synopsis
- First printed in hardcover in 2009 and now in an attractive reprinted paper edition, this one-volume history of China excels for presenting the long stretch of history in a readable style, engaging with the diverse peoples and religions in a refreshingly objective manner that demonstrates the country's diversity, in part by uncovering the origins of long-standing national myths. Beginning with the earliest dynasties, the first 12 chapters describe China's extraordinarily well-documented ancient and medieval history, with the Ming, Manchu, end of the Ming, and 20th century in the final four chapters.
