History of China by Otto Zierer (Color Illustrated Hardcover)

Description

Man has lived history here for more than four thousand years, through chaos and harmony, decline and reconstruction, revolution and new order.  Time and again following periods of crisis, ruin, civil war, conquest and catastrophe, the “Middle Kingdom” has emerged in a new shape on an old base to provide cultural and political living space for many millions of people.  The long history of China is part of the development and cultural history of Man himself; its current politics are of ever-increasing significance for the whole world.
