China Rising (3E) [Tom Ryan]

This engaging and rigorous narrative outlines the late Qing period through to the death of Communist leader Mao Zedong. Challenging, varied activities and captivating visual sources help students grapple with the profound political, social, cultural and moral questions of the era.
