Description

China's Republic: A History of the Chinese Republic from 1912 to the Present Day Diana Lary explores the complex and often tumultuous history of the Chinese Republic, which was established in 1912 after centuries of imperial rule. The book delves into the Republic's early years, including the Nanjing decade and the warlord era, before tracing its eventual decline and the rise of the Communist Party. In a unique approach, Lary also examines how the Republic survived on in Taiwan, comparing its ongoing prosperity with the economic and social decline of the Communist mainland during the Mao years. This insightful study is enhanced with biographies of key protagonists, Chinese proverbs, love stories, poetry, and a wealth of illustrations. A comprehensive and engaging introduction to the history of the Chinese Republic, this book is an ideal resource for students and general readers alike.
