In this succinct, modest and refreshingly clearheaded book, John Starr offers all the background material, basic data, and analysis of the issues at stake that are needed to grasp the truths in China's crisis-ridden present situation. No one who visits China, who wants to work in China or with the Chinese, or who simply needs to understand the headlines better than he has thus far can do without this shrewd and practical guide to the basic features of China today. Illustrated with maps. Red boards with gilt print to spine. No ownership markings. Illustrated price-intact dust jacket design by Rodrigo Corral. An excellent copy with that tight new feel.. First Edition. Hard Cover. Near Fine/Near Fine.
