China is poised to become the world's largest economy in the next
decade. But its great struggle to modernise has been one of
tragedy, conflict, and challenge. From the first attempts to
introduce Western ideas into the country two centuries ago, China's
long march to global primacy has been above all an epic fight to
renew an ancient country and culture. Leading Sinologist Kerry
Brown traces this quest for renewal through the major moments of
China's modern history. Taking the reader on a journey that
includes war, revolution, famine and finally regeneration, he
describes concisely and authoritatively where China has come from,
and where it is heading as it achieves great power status. This is
a story that is no longer just about China, but concerns the rest
of the world.
