Jonathan Fenby: The Penguin History of Modern China : The Fall and Rise of a Great Power, 1850-2009
Description
In 1850, China was the 'sick man of Asia'. Now it is set to become the most powerful nation on earth. "The Penguin History of Modern China" shows how turbulent that journey has been.

Jonathan Fenby's clear and comprehensive account of China's recent past is the definitive guide to this remarkable transformation.
