Product Description:

This long and complex history is presented in a clear and approachable style. Each chapter deals with a key period, summarizing the most significant developments and identifying the main themes. This rich and absorbing history of China from earliest times to the present covers the country's complex political and economic structures and culture in a concise yet nuanced manner.

For this new edition, Roberts has developed his analysis of recent interpretations of Chinese history, especially those relating to prehistory and early history, intellectual and cultural trends, China's relationships with her neighbours and the wider world, the rise of the Communists and the role of women in Chinese society.

Short Description:

A History China spans the whole timeframe of the world's longest civilization, from prehistory and the empire to the Communist revolution and the dramatic economic rise of today's China.
