### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Excellent Text for People New to Chinese History
  

*by S***R on Reviewed in Canada on 22 January 2017*

I will start by saying that I am only half way through this book. And I have virtually no knowledge of Chinese history so pretty much the whole book could be wrong and I wouldnt know the difference. However, I have a history degree and want to grow my understanding of other cultures. This book was on a list of "best survey books on Chinese history" so I bought it. And so far it is really good.It is a good survey text. The author gives insight into political, social and philosophical/religious forces working within Chinese society during the time periods covered. And puts those forces into a historical context with what happened before and what came after. Basically precisely the kind of overview and depth of analysis that the beginner student needs.I have read a lot of historical texts and while this is written basically like a text book, it is very approachable. It is not heavy or boring. It is a quick and enlightening read. I highly suggest it for anyone that is looking for a jumping off point from which to begin studying Chinese history or culture.

### ⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Moderately Acceptable History-Much Better Histories Elsewhere
  

*by R***S on Reviewed in the United States on 15 August 2021*

Most histories are reasonably written and accurate at reporting the historical facts in a manner that is engaging and sparks further interest, not this one. The continual interjection of the author's personal observations as though he was present and his biases are clearly evident. A third of the way into the text I decided my time was too precious to bother reading any more.

### ⭐⭐⭐ 







  
  
    Informative but very dull
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on 30 September 2019*

This book, like Vol 1, does was it says on the cover: it recounts the history of China. But that’s all it does. It is practically humourless, with no witty asides or any sense of character on the part of the author. History-writing should be quietly subversive and inspire reflection, not blandly recount the official version of events. This book would be fine for a course, but it will not increase the casual reader’s interest in China.
