About This Item
Beijing: Foreign Language Press, 1981. 2nd Edition . Soft cover. Fine/No Jacket. 12mo - over 6¾ - 7¾" tall. Softcover, second printing. Fine. Sun fading to spine, but otherwise flawless. Softcover (with flaps like a dust jacket that fit around the first pages). 264 pages. 5" x 7 ¼". The book has held up quite well because the Chinese Communist Party spared no expense in making sure it did so. Acid free paper, card covers, etc. They also apparently paid these three scholars to toss objectivity out the window. This is the official Chinese Communist Party version of Chinese history as set forth for the first time in English for the view of foreigners in 1964, but, just as revealing, revised slightly following Nixon's visit in 1972. Good luck finding this anywhere else!
