Mao Haijian, one of the most distinguished and well-known historians working in China, presents the culmination of more than ten years of research in a revisionist reading of the conflict and its main Chinese protagonists. Mao examines the Qing participants in terms of the moral standards and intellectual norms of their own time, demonstrating that actions which have struck later observers as ridiculous can be understood as reasonable within these individuals' own context. This English-language translation of Mao's work offers a comprehensive response to the question of why the Qing Empire was so badly defeated by the British in the first Opium War - an answer that is distinctive and original within both Chinese and Western historiography, and supported by a wealth of hitherto unknown detail.Language: EnglishCountry/Region of Manufacture: GBItem Height: 230mmItem Length: 155mmItem Width: 30mmItem Weight: 850gAuthor: Haijian MaoTranslator: Craig Smith, Peter Lavelle, Joseph LawsonContributor: Craig Smith (Translated by), Peter Lavelle (Translated by), Julia Lovell (Introduction by), Joseph Lawson (Translated by)Genre: HistoryBook Series: Cambridge China LibraryRelease Year: 2018 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
