Here is a fascinating compact history of Chinese political,
economic, and cultural life, ranging from the origins of
civilization in China to the beginning of the 21st century.
Historian Paul Ropp combines vivid story-telling with astute
analysis to shed light on some of the larger questions of Chinese
history. What is distinctive about China in comparison with other
civilizations? What have been the major changes and continuities in
Chinese life over the past four millennia? Offering a global
perspective, the book shows how China's nomadic neighbors to the
north and west influenced much of the political, military, and even
cultural history of China. Ropp also examines Sino-Indian
relations, highlighting the impact of the thriving trade between
India and China as well as the profound effect of Indian Buddhism
on Chinese life. Finally, the author discusses the humiliation of
China at the hands of Western powers and Japan, explaining how
these recent events have shaped China's quest for wealth, power and
respect today, and have colored China's perception of its own place
in world history.
