Description
The official Penguin history of modern China, covering an extensive but arguably lesser-known period of one of the world's, possibly Asia's greatest powers' history's, provides a detailed and clear insight into the land of the dragon. Particularly of the period pre-1912, when Puyi, the Last Emperor was overthrown, many Western readers have little knowledge and the book is vital reading for anyone taking a Level 3 qualification in history, with specific reference to China, or anyone with simply a general interest in this fascinating country. The guide is arranged in clear chapters, making it easier for readers looking for a specific individual or time to navigate their way through. Nevertheless, a full read of this compendious text is highly recommended.
