"An interestting journey through the enigmatic China that anybody thinking of visiting or working there should make. It will help you understand more about their people, history and culture so that you find a more credible argument than that of TIC: This Is China! Sorry, but I gather that those who have lived there would actually understand me."
"This book is frustrating in that the entire thrust of Chinese history prior to 1800 is glossed over. This first half of the book is like an overview of an overview, where hundreds of years pass in mere paragraphs and as much energy is spent on contrasting art styles as on the main events of each period. The second half of the book covering the modern period is exactly what I was looking for from the rest of the book, and is worth reading."
