The Story of China: The Epic History of a World Power from the Middle Kingdom to Mao and the China Dream by Michael Wood

Did not finish book. Stopped at 4%.
Don't love the writing style; author is self-admitted not a historian and it shows in how he writes. Not necessarily badly written, but much more theatrical than history books generally are. Will probably come back to this someday, but not a book I feel like carrying on the train with me to read right now
