Dr. David Kenley has written a very valuable account of the modern history of China. His understandable text is a great introduction to China's recent history for a new student of Asia. It is also a terrific overview of the country's history for those who wish to further their study of China's history. The book provides a wonderful base of knowledge for those interested in an in-depth study of China. It is a great resource for background information on China written in a clear and concise overview of modern China's formative years. The book could be used for some middle school students but would be and excellent study text for high school and college students. It is a great travel text that explains the historical importance of several locations within China for the traveler in China. I would recommend this book for people who want to learn how China has evolved and emerged as the country it has come to be in the modern world..
