Summary: Very Shipshape
Review: An excellent quick synopsis of modern China. Gives an historical overview, biographies of the major players, and descriptions of all the recent historical trends that make China what it is today, all in 300 pages.My only reason to withhold five stars is that I felt the treatment of the last forty years or so was a bit cursory. But then, this is a history book, and not a current events review. I'd recommend it to anybody who is looking for a quick but thorough treatment of the subject.

Summary: Just the Right Amount of Information
Review: If you are considering doing business in China, are concerned about global geopolitical developments, or just interested in history and current affairs, this is the book for you. It presents a thorough, yet highly engaging overview of the developments that have led to the modern Chinese State. If you are only going to read one book on China, this would be the one.
