Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. A comprehensive and engaging guide to Imperial ChinaImperial China, dating from the Qin conquest of China in 221 BCE until the final abdication of the last Qing emperor on 12 February 1912, maintained many consistent threads over its two millennia but was neither static nor unchanging. This introduction will examine both the changes and the consistencies of imperial Chinese history, spanning centuries and dynasties to examine what was characteristic of this period. The contradictions and tensions inherent in the imperial system were solved in some periods before subsequent changes undermined that solution. Yet the history of imperial China remains important because many of those tensions remain until this day. A rich, wide-ranging and accessible introduction to over 2,000 years of history Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…

Product Description: This comprehensive survey of Chinese military history is the only book in English to span the significant years from 900 â" 1795. Peter Lorge questions current theories on Chinaâs relationship to war, and argues that war was the most important tool used by the Chinese in building and maintaining their empire. Emphasizing the relationship between the military and politics, chapters are organized around specific military events and, Lorge argues, the strength of territorial claims and political impact of each dynasty were determined by their military capacity. Ideal as a course adoption text for Asian military studies, this is also valuable for students of Chinese studies, military studies and Chinese history.…
