Modern Chinese History (Guomai Classics)

Jiang Tingfu's A History of Modern China is an authoritative, bestselling work from the Republic of China era. In clear, fluent prose, it traces a century of change, covering political struggles, clashes between civilizations, social conventions, and the inertia of the nation. In just sixty thousand words, it explains the major events and figures of China's modern century. By getting to the heart of the matter, it manages to be both “concise” and “comprehensive.”
