The Qing Dynasty (1644-1911) was the last and arguably the greatest
of the conquest dynasties to rule China. Its rulers, Manchus from
the north, held power for three centuries despite major cultural
and ideological differences with the Han majority. In this book,
Evelyn Rawski offers a bold new interpretation of the remarkable
success of this dynasty, arguing that it derived not from the
assimilation of the dominant Chinese culture, as has previously
been believed, but rather from an artful synthesis of Manchu
leadership styles with Han Chinese policies.
