Excellent historical account
Revisado: 02-03-06
The first-hand account that Tuchman gives in her book Notes On China, demands to stand among such illuminating works on the development of China's domestic and foreign policies as Friedman's The World Is Flat and Buck's The Good Earth.
Tuchman's writings disperse the fog that mytsteriously covers the un-propagandized history of China and provides insight on how the Dragon awoke from its slumber in the last 50 years.
Notes on China is augmented with an essay that explores a tragic and sobering look at how the Korean and Vietnam war may have been averted through diplomacy.
This book is a must have for those that want a down-to-earth account of China's often times ambigous and rewritten history. Overall an excellent work.
