The history of China from prehistory to modern days
The Story of China offers a fresh perspective on the Middle Kingdom. Drawing on new archaeological discoveries, this book begins with China’s prehistory: the early dynasties, the roots of Chinese culture in the time of Confucius. It paints a vivid picture of the Qing Empire in the 18th century, then explores the encounter with the West, the Opium Wars, and confrontations with the British. It then provides a clear and updated account of post-1949 China. Revelations about the 1989 crisis, based on recently disclosed internal documents, shed light on President Xi Jinping’s new order.
