内容简介 China's story is of warfare and violence, philosophical and political invention, shining artistic achievement and often complex and subtle relations with outsiders. Harry G. Gelber's fascinating general history of this great nation makes sense of China's changing relationship with the rest of the world as never before. From the invasions by steppe horsemen in 200 BC to Genghis Khan and the Mongol conquests, from the arrival of Marco Polo to the Opium Wars, from Communism to the Tiananmen Square protest, Gelber traces the path that led to China's resurgence as a dynamic economy and a powerful international player today.

媒体推荐 Praise for OPIUM, SOLDIERS AND EVANGELICALS ' timely, intelligent, unprejudiced and readable this is a work of intellectual as much as diplomatic history and readers will enjoy seeing old orthodoxies subverted and ingrained prejudices dissipated by Dr Gelber's persuasive insinuation of reason' Professor S.A.M. Adshead, University of Canterbury, New Zealand 'A well written, sharp-eyed and thoughtful treatment of a subject which continues to arouse interest and controversy among historians' Professor John Gregory, author of The West and China Since 1500 'Harry Gelber shows how opium was only the immediate cause of war in a conflict which was far more about the gulf between British and Chinese views of international order and the rules of trade. I enjoyed reading it immensely' Professor Lord William Wallace, London School of Economics and Political Science
