A really fine book describing the rise of the Chinese republic. Developing from the causes and failures brought about by the empire and the Western Nations attempting to "colonize" it. and how it gave rise to the revolution and finally the current "communist" form. Excelent book for anyone that really wants to know baout why China acts as it does and what brought it about with a minimum of bias and propoganda which seems to be our only approach to anything anymore.
