Midwest Book Review: August 2010 –
There are few countries with as long histories as China. This Is China: The First 5,000 Years looks at the nation’s long history through its early first unions through the Cultural revolution and Communist rule. Dealing with only the basics, Haiwang Yuan gives readers a need to know introduction to Chinese history with plenty of advice on what else to read along the way. This Is China is a top pick for anyone who wants a more complete understanding of the history of China.
SciTech Book News: November 2010 –
This small volume … offers a readable overview for students, teachers, and business professionals…. The book can be used as a supplement in courses on history, political science, and Chinese language.
