Well, that was unexpected - but in a really good way. I was ready to dismiss this as a "dry and dusty" academic tome, but your review indicates otherwise. Thanks for the recommendation!

I recently enrolled for Chinese classes and I believe that this book will give me an upper hand in learning Chinese history and classes.
Nice review.

Thanks for stopping by, and good luck with your Chinese studies. I've heard it's a very difficult language to learn. :D

I know of a friend who's very interested in the Chinese culture. I think he'll like this book. Thanks for the review
Insofar as the word 'should' even has meaning, then we must say that the past is exactly as it should be, everything that happened should have happened, and everything that should happen will happen
