Through 19th century foreign wars and 'unequal treaties', warlordism, a brutal Japanese invasion, civil war and the erratic, oppressive rule of Mao Zedong that culminated in the nightmare of the Cultural Revolution, China has survived to become a major global force at the start of the 21st century. 'To see where China has come from and what has shaped it', Fenby presents a detailed history of the 150 years of oppression and violence that form the backdrop to today's spectacular economic growth.
