| Sumario: | "Beginning with the overthrow of the Emperor in 1911, Moise guides us through a century of ever-unfolding drama with characteristic clarity and balance. Examining the effects of the communist revolution, he argues that in the early days Mao Zedong established the most effective government China had ever known, and that even during the bizarre excesses and blood-letting of the Cultural Revolution, there were still issues that were dealt with in a national and effective manner." "Modern China sends us a clear message: the rapid and fundamental change that has framed the last century has not slowed or stalled but acts us a pointer to the near certainty of significant further change. To understand China's future we must understand its past."--Jacket. |
