The first edition of this scarce and informative work describes the aftermath of the Boxer Rebellion, the impact of western education on the Chinese, the efforts of the Dowager Empress, a comparison of China & Turkey, political reforms, land reform, and the policies of the British and Americans in China, the aftermath of the Russo-Japanese War, the impact of Opium, and even a strong rebuttal of the persistent Yellow Peril myth.


The book is complete with tight binding , a dirty dustjacket as seen - that certainly could be cleaned by a specialist.
