The Shortest History books deliver thousands of years of history in one riveting, fast-paced read. As we enter the Asian century, China demands our attention for being an economic powerhouse, a beacon of rapid modernization, and an assertive geopolitical player. To understand the nation behind the headlines, we must take in its vibrant, tumultuous past-a story of larger-than-life characters, philosophical arguments and political intrigues, military conflicts and social upheavals, artistic invention and technological innovation.The Shortest History of China charts a path from Chinas tribal origins through its storied imperial era and up to the modern Communist Party under Xi Jinping-including the rarely told story of women in China and the specters of corruption and disunity that continue to haunt the Peoples Republic today. A master storyteller and exacting historian, Linda Jaivin distills this vast history into a short, riveting account that todays globally minded readers will find indispensable. 65 B\u0026amp;W maps and illustrations\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mia Karts","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52236292129056,"sku":"NEW1615198202","price":18.67,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0980\/7426\/3840\/files\/71WOacEXSaL.jpg?v=1787484380","url":"https:\/\/miakarts.com\/products\/the-shortest-history-of-china-the-shortest-history-series-1615198202","provider":"Miakarts Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
