Description
Out of China: How the Chinese Ended the Era of Western Domination
Robert Bickers' major new book tells the story of how China regained control of its own country, a process that spanned centuries and involved a range of unusual and often brutal tactics.
From the corrupt modernity of pre-War Shanghai to the tiny patches of 'extra-territorial' land controlled by European powers, Bickers uses a brilliant array of sources to recreate a now fantastically remote world. Today, Chinese nationalism remains rooted in memories of its degraded past, and understanding this history is crucial to understanding China's current rulers and their ambitions.
