## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Illuminating
*by H***D on 26 September 2017*

Patricia Buckley writes clearly and weaves this incredibly complex story together with insight and dexterity. The unavoidable, in a book of this length, lack of detail, is sometimes frustrating but I found it really helpful in grasping the broad sweep of Chinese history and the key epochs such as the Han, The Song the Mongol incursions etc etc. Professor Ebrey's tendency to focus as much on social history as on successions of emperors brings ancient China to life. A deeply impressive achievement for less than 400 pages.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, providing valuable insights fro better understanding (current) China
*by W***R on 6 October 2019*

This book is different from other books on China. It provides a broad and deep understanding of the evolution of the main elements of Chinese culture, something which is had to find in other books. Most books either sum up 'historical facts' or provide view on 'the rise of China and where it will go etc.', but there often lack a true frame for understanding what has driven China over millennia to where it stand now. For what it's worth: I lived and worked about 7 years in China and believe it's good to have quality resources available for better understanding this - in my view often misunderstood - country and its people.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent for an understanding of Chinese history and culture
*by D***N on 3 November 2013*

This book gives you an in-depth history of China up to the end of 20th century. It enables you to get a feel for the society and the technological advances made by that society well before the Europeans, It goes through the history of the various dynasties in sufficient depth to understand the why they succeeded or failed. For anyone who wants to get a good grounding in the development and history of China this is a fine book to start with and many be sufficient for all your needs.
