Title: To Change China: Western Advisers in China, 1620-1960 by Jonathan D. Spence ISBN: 0-14-005528-2 Publisher: Penguin USA (Paper) Pub. Date: 30 April, 2002 Format: Paperback Volumes: 1 List Price(USD): $15.00 |
Average Customer Rating: 4.5 (2 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: vely vely useful
Comment: For a Western head going to China with something in mind other than just making money, touring about, or slipping into uncritical fascination, this is perhaps the wisest book available. Here is old Spence at his best: good scholarship and wonderful storytelling. It covers the lives of a handful of remarkable men struggling to bring their vision to bear in notoriusly difficult country. Many would-be China hands have found solace here.
Rating: 4
Summary: Brian Wayne Wells, Esquire, reviews "To Change China":
Comment: Jonathan Spence's book, "To Change China" chronicles only the narrow topic of the effect of western advisers to the various Chinese governments from 1620 to 1960. Because the topic is narrow the author can do the subject justice, which is the happy result in this book.
The book is a scholarly book which was published by Penguin Books. In the usual pattern of Penguin Books, "To Change China" does not let scholarship become another term for dry, difficult and boring reading. Spences' writing style is very readable and provides much valuable information to the student of modern China.
