The Making of Modern China: a Short History

In This Review

By Owen and Eleanor Lattimore

Norton, 1944, 212 pp

A masterpiece of lucid historical narrative and interpretation. The first half of the book gives the geographic and ethnic background and brings the story down to the nineteenth century; the second half covers the more modern period.
