Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book sheds light on the 1911 revolution in China, which toppled the Q'ing Dynasty and led to the founding of a republic. As the author lived in Shanghai for 40 years and closely followed China's politics, the book provides a unique insider's perspective on this pivotal moment in Chinese history. The author presents a nuanced view of the event, arguing that although the revolution was necessary to end the corruption of the Q'ing Dynasty, the transition to a republic was not smooth, with power struggles and inexperience hindering the formation of a stable government.
