The Penguin History of Modern China

In 1850, China was the 'sick man of Asia'. For 150 years China has endured as victim to brutality on an unmatched scale, to oppression, to war and to famine. This makes its position as the most important global superpower all the more extraordinary. This title shows how turbulent that journey has been.
