Customer Reviews

Excellent companion piece to Spence's History

This is a really good collection of documents meant to complement Spence's "The Search for Modern China" textbook. It really makes the textbook come alive, transforming otherwise bland characters into real people. It was indispensible for really understanding the main text.
