A Short History of China

Very good. My knowledge of Chinese history was, and still is to tell the truth, very limited. But this nice primer is the perfect introduction. Gordon Kerr has written a fast paced short history that has me salivating for more.

As good on the 2nd read. I have delved deeper into a couple of the subjects in this book, The Great Leap Forward comes to mind. The author has done the subject justice in only 4 pages.
