Trade paperback. Presumed first edition/first printing. v, [1], 253, [1] p. : Illustrations. Endnotes. From an on-line posting: "If there is one constant in expert analyses of the history of modern China, it is the characterization of a country perpetually in the throes of crises. While China at the mid-point of the Twenty-first Century's first decade is arguably the most secure and stable it has been in more than a century, crises continue to emerge with apparent frequency. The study of China's behavior in conditions of tension and stress is of considerable importance to policy makers and analysts around the world.

No dust jacket. Cover has slight wear and soiling.…
