The Manchus by Pamela Kyle Crossley
This book relates the history of the Manchus, the rise and fall of their vast empire and their legacy today.
"Pamela Crossley's The Manchus is the book that those interested in China's last dynasty have always neededThrough her clear, erudite, and succinct presentation, we are led to understand the origins of Manchu social organization, the formation of a Manchu ethnicity, and the implementation of a specifically Manchu view of universal empire. We also see the loss of purpose and erosion of self-confidence that led to the dynasty's collapse in 1912." Jonathan Spence, Yale University
