The collapse of the Ming dynasty and the takeover of China by
Manchu rulers in the 1640s were of crucial importance in the late
history of China. But because traditional Chinese sources
arbitrarily divide the century at the change of dynasty in 1644, it
has been difficult to form a clear picture of the transition. The
nine essays in this book will contribute significantly toward
understanding the complexity of change and continuity over the span
of time leading up to and resulting from the tumult of the
mid-1600s. "The fullest introduction in English to the Ming-Ch'ing
transition."-Tom Fisher, Pacific Affairs "No other recent work
compares with its scope, and no older work can stand up to the
introduction of its new materials and perspectives."-Library
Journal "[This book] makes a valuable contribution to Ming-Ch'ing
studies and should be required reading for anyone interested in the
two dynasties."-James B. Parsons, American Historical Review
