Beautifully written by a leading scholar in the field, the new edition of The Search for Modern China brings to life the characters and events of China's turbulent modern history. The narrative is detailed balanced, integrating political and cultural history with social and economic developments.

The Search for Modern China , Second Edition, features a visually striking art program that includes more than 150 illustrations--many by world-famous photographers--50 maps, and many helpful tables.
