520 2  "This lavishly illustrated volume explores the history of 
       China during a period of dramatic shifts and surprising 
       transformations, from the founding of the Qing Dynasty 
       (1644-1912) through to the present day. The Oxford 
       Illustrated History of Modern China promises to be 
       essential reading for anyone who wants to understand this 
       rising superpower on the verge of what promises to be the 
       'Chinese century,' introducing readers to important but 
       often overlooked events in China's past, such as the 
       bloody Taiping Civil War (1850-1864), which had a death 
       toll far higher than the roughly contemporaneous American 
       Civil War. It also helps readers see more familiar 
       landmarks in Chinese history in new ways, such as the 
       Opium War (1839-1842), the Boxer Uprising of 1900, the 
       rise to power of the Chinese Communist Party in 1949, and 
       the Tiananmen protests and Beijing Massacre of 1989. This 
       is one of the first major efforts--and in many ways the 
       most ambitious to date--to come to terms with the broad 
       sweep of modern Chinese history, taking readers from the 
       origins of modern China right up through the dramatic 
       events of the last few years (the Beijing Games, the 
       financial crisis, and China's rise to global economic pre-
       eminence) which have so fundamentally altered Western 
       views of China and China's place in the world"--Publisher 
       description.
