An authoritative history tracing China’s fascinating and turbulent path from the Opium Wars through the fall of the Qing dynasty in 1911, examining foreign intervention, social unrest, and the birth of modern China.
China: From the Opium Wars to the 1911 Revolution (1976) by Jean Chesneaux, Marianne Bastid, and Marie-Claire Bergère offers a comprehensive account of one of the most transformative periods in Chinese history. Originally published as part of The Pantheon Asia Library, this volume explores the political upheavals, cultural changes, and economic pressures that defined China’s late imperial decline and the revolutionary movements that followed.
Written by leading historians, this work remains an essential study for readers interested in China’s modern emergence, the legacy of Western imperialism, and the complex forces that shaped the 20th century. Book condition is good, and although the binding opens easily between pages 2401 and 241 (see image 9) all other pages remain tight, with no markings and clean pages.
