The Penguin history of modern China : the fall and rise of a great power, 1850 to the present

Fenby, Jonathan (author.).

Summary: In 1850, China was the 'sick man of Asia'. Now it is set to become the most powerful nation on earth. This book shows how turbulent that journey has been. For 150 years China has endured as victim to brutality on an unmatched scale, to oppression, to war and to famine. This makes its current position as the newest and, arguably, most important global superpower all the more extraordinary.
