Author: Ray Huang
Format: Paperback
ISBN: 0873327284
Publisher: M.E.Sharpe
Editorial Reviews
From Library Journal
Several good histories of China for general readers have been published in recent years, e.g., Witold Rodzinski's The Walled Kingdom (Free Pr., 1984).

The author of the acclaimed 1587: A Year of No Significance takes a fresh look at the full sweep of Chinese history, from neolithic times to the present. He argues that, far from a simple reform, what is happening in China today is the latest step in major restructuring of a huge nation. No bibliography. Annotation copyright Book News, Inc.
