Excellent walk-through of a complex subject
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 16 years ago
By "walk-through" I mean a highly-informed introduction to China's millennias-long history and contemporary challenges, one that is neither romantic nor simplistic, and one that is conducted by a well-spoken guide. The reader will conclude with a sense of China's historic memories and aspirations, and a better understanding of the present moment. It is a satisfying read, perfect for anyone headed--by air or armchair--to Beijing.
