"A good but sometimes too wry look at modern China. This is unapologetically a political history: it is full of names, dates, and places associated with "important people." It is not a social history. It consciously tries to see things from a Chinese perspective, thus debunking some Western and Chinese misapprehensions of Chinese history. However, Professor Fairbank's pinyin is frankly irritating."
"What a fallacy to struggle through this book. It took me months and 2 false starts. The book was too dense and didn't present facts in a coherent, cogent manner, and I often found myself rereading pages I had already read just to get a grasp of what the author was trying to say. I do not recommend for an introductory exploration of Chinese history; it was not indepth enough to satisfy my thirst but not concise enough to even give me a grasp of the basic outline of Chinese history."
