Autumn of Heaven (oracle Series)

About This Novel

This book approaches the Taiping Rebellion (called the Civil War by the author) from the perspective of international relations, with special emphasis on the diplomatic and military impact of the British and American countries on the Taiping War. It focuses on showing how the fate of China's rulers and its people were at the mercy of British diplomatic and commercial interests, and how they were affected by the unorthodox religious and political ideas of the Taiping Rebellion itself. The author of the book takes the Qing army commander Zeng Guofan and the Taiping Army leader Hong Rengan as the core figures in the discussion. The original work won the 2012 Cundill Prize.
