is
no
understanding
China,

of
what
comes
next
for
our
frail,
perplexed
planet
will
find
unexpected
answers
in
this
crisp,
often
witty
chronicle
of
amazements.'

'Dynasties
lead
to
world
domination:
John
Keay's
forensic
analysis
of
China's
history
makes
the
world
of
the
ancient
emperors
strikingly
modern
and
relevant.'

'As
John
Keay's
ambitious
new
book
makes
clear...China's
history
is
intoxicatingly
interesting
and
is
sure
to
keep

on
the
edge
of
our
geopolitical
seats.'

readable.'

'An
epic
history

future
without
a

awe-inspiring
past.'
