China: A New History, Second Enlarged Edition |
Rating: 1 (out of 5)
Summary: not much different from previous editions
Comments: I purchased this book because I was misled by the information displayed on Amazon's web site. This edition in its paperback form actually runs to 560 pages only, not to 640 pages as the "product details" claims. I was led to believe that this 2006 2nd enlarged edition was a major expansion over its previous edition, which I already possess. however no. |

Rating: 5 (out of 5)
Summary: Great
Comments: This book is a great overview of Chinese history. While true that Spence's Volume has more artistic qualities this volume is mor than sufficient for the student of history. Clear and concise, this book describes the major events of Chinese history while integrating a plethora of supplemental and recent scholarship. Anyone interested in diving further into Chinese history can use Fairbank and Goldman as a launching platform. |
