Would have preferred to watch a documentary

I've been introduced slightest here and there about Chinese histories from Chinese classic books and novels i read, and this book helps me alot to settle the timeline of those all I've been curious so much

is it just my copy? on page 41, Indonesia independence should be 1945 not 1949

[Sebastian]

Some good info, but this book is very poorly organized. Like, a total mess. For the casual reader seeking a light intro to Chinese history (like me), I would suggest looking elsewhere.

[Nico Caso]

Buen libro, foco en hindochina.

[Evelyn Taylor]

Awesome read.

This book is very educational for someone like me who loves the chinese culture. The book coulda been longer, but overall, it was great.

[Peter]

Author makes history accessible.

[Saleena]

Very well written. Concise history of China.

[Michele Amitrani]

I cannot claim to be an expert in Chinese history, but this book contains several major historical inaccuracies, some of them quite obvious. In one of them, the author states that Kung Fu: 'goes back to over 1.7 million years ago'. I highly doubt it. The earliest finds of modern Homo sapiens skeletons date to 200,000 years ago. Something's not quite right.

[Rianne Werring]

Excellent introduction into the social, political, philosophical and cultural history of China. The author succeeds in taking a fairly neutral position while still giving a complete overview on controversial topics.
