Understanding Chinese History

by Shuhsi Hsu

This book provides a concise description of the most salient aspects of Chinese history from ancient time to nineteen seventy-nine. Dividing the history into six distinct periods, it focuses on the epochal developments and decisive personalities in China's long past. Its purpose is to offer readers of the English language – especially high school and community college teachers, librarians, Western businesspeople dealing with China, and Western born Chinese – a Chinese perspective not frequently seen in Western works on this subject.
