People's China by Dietrich
The third edition of this historical survey of China includes new materials and a thoroughly rewritten final chapter, bringing the book up to date. The text chronologically unpacks the essential story of modern China from 1949 - the historical background, the ideologies, the grand economic achievements, and the cruel repression.
