Summary:
Many nations define themselves in terms of territory or people. China defines itself in terms of history. Taking into account the country's voluminous tradition of history writing, John Keay has composed an illuminating overview of the nation's complex and vivid past. Keay's history examines 5,000 years in China, from the time of the Three Dynasties through Chairman Mao and the current economic transformation of the country.
