About the author

Currently working as a Korean diplomat in Beijing. Enjoy reading history books stretching from the antiquities to the contemporary times; from East to West. A slight detour into biology, astronomy, paleontology (a.k.a. dinosaurs), and science stuffs is also a fair shot.

Good primer in China's history

Being almost completely ignorant of China's history, I found this book to a good over view of the 5 plus millennia of its history and I gained some perspective on the collective Chinese psyche. I enjoyed the parallels drawn between the US and China, they are enlightning.
