Description
To fully grasp the astonishing distance China has traversed, from one of the world’s earliest and most advanced civilizations to the economic giant it is today, one must see the achievement in its historic perspective. China has compressed almost inconceivable change into little more than a century, shedding the last vestiges of age-old imperial dynasties to confront the modern world head on. Even before Mao Tse-tung’s Communists came to power, China experienced upheavals unparalleled by any other nation. The dramatic course of those one hundred turbulent years is documented in this extraordinary book, both in words and photographs, many of which have never been published before.
