An accessible, authoritative single-volume narrative history of China, from the earliest times to the present day,designed both to engage the general reader and to challenge the horizons of the China specialist.
Most histories of China appear to have been written by sinologists for sinologists. As China rejoins and perhaps comes to dominate our world order, the need for an authoritative yet engaging history is universally acknowledged.
Modelled on the author`s own `India: A History`, `China: A
History` is informed by a wide knowledge of the Asian context,an approach devoid of Euro-centric bias, and acclaimed narrative skills. Broadly chronological, the book presents a history of all the Chinas – including
those regions (Yunnan, Tibet, Xinjiang, Mongolia, Manchuria) that account for two thirds of the People`s Republic of China land mass but which barely feature in its conventional history (which tends to concentrate on the succession of mainly north China imperial dynasties).
The book also examines the many non-Chinese elements in China`s history – the impact of Buddhism, Islam and Christianity; the effects of trade; the nature of `barbarian` invasion; the
relevance of many imperial dynasties being of non-Chinese origin.
Major archaeological discoveries in the last two decades afford a chance to flesh out and correct much of the written record. `China: A History` will tell the epic story from the time of the Three Dynasties (2000-220 BC) to Chairman Mao and the current economic transformation of the country.
