Continuing the argument developed in the author's previous book,
this exhaustively researched study shows how the see-saw political
battle that had weakened the Ming dynasty raged into the early part
of the Qing era. It describes the humiliation of the Chinese gentry
at the hands of the statist Oboi regents in the 1660s and the
Kangxi emperor's self-declared Confucian sagehood in the 1670s,
which effectively trumped the gentry's claim to sovereignty. Based
on archival and rare book research but briskly written, this book
offers a compelling narrative for scholars of Chinese, Asian, and
World history.
