Chinese History Book Recommendations

[Хahar 🤔]

Well, there are several books on your list that I would have recommended, so that's a good start. Imperial China in particular is an engrossing read. Another book that I quite liked, although it's somewhat different than the ones on your list, is The Deng Xiaoping Era: An Inquiry into the Fate of Chinese Socialism by Maurice Meisner. It's a look from a Marxist perspective at the economic reforms of the 1980s, which I found interesting because it attempts to address that period of time on its own terms.
