Despite the recent rise of China to a position of dominance on the world economic stage, thanks to Mao Zedong and Deng Xiaoping, Chinese history remains an elusive subject.
Yet it is this vast narrative of appalling loss, superhuman endeavour and incredible invention that has made China the superpower it is today.
From the dawn of legend to the succession of great dynasties, from Confucius to Marxism and from the clamour of revolution to the lure of slick Capitalism.
Kyle Wright takes the reader on a sweeping tour through Chinese history analysing their history through the use of Dialectical and Historical Materialism to understand the social conditions that led to it becoming as it is today.
This is a definitive and indispensable account of a country set to play a major part in our future and maybe already has.
