• China's Struggle with the Modern World
• Exciting account of how the politics and culture of China changed forever during the twentieth century
• Brings previously unheard voices from modern China to light, using a range of new and fascinating sources
• Shines a light on China's 'hidden history', e.g. China and Japan were not always enemies, and Communism was not inevitably destined to succeed in China
• Shows how the 1910s and 20s, traditionally regarded as progressive and liberal, hid the seeds of China's future political crises
