Wealth and Power: China's Long March to the Twenty-first Century by Orville Schell

5.0

This book is a series of 1 or 2 chapter long biographies of key Chinese political leaders and thinkers. The period covered is from The Opium Wars to current day. As far as history books go, I love this format. I am very interested in the people living the history and their stories. Perhaps it is a problem reading books written in English by Western authors, but it seemed that there was a lot of focus on the West and it's influence.
