The Oxford History of Modern China

We've largely decided to push back our plans to visit China due to concerns around the war with Iran, but I'm choosing to look at this as an opportunity to study China on a more deliberate, deeper path.

As promised, this book wove a tapestry both wide and, selectively, deep, into modern China, which it defines as starting during Qing, through to the reign of Xi Jinping (a man whom I need to study deeply).

Although I've read through much of this period before, the review and scholarly perspective of these authors, as is always the case with Oxford Histories, provided an important refresher with added context and perspective.

I wish I could read them all...
