Peter Zarrow's China in War and Revolution

Finally, I have finished reading historian Peter Zarrow's China in War and Revolution, 1895-1949 (London, Routledge, 2005) which impresses me as one of the relatively balanced and objective English-language discourses on China's modern history or China's history in the quest for modernity. However, it is very interpretative and a certain amount of background knowledge of the general Chinese history is helpful to follow Zarrow's reasonings and arguments.

Great website - nice work. :)

I'm currently reading Zarrow's book and it helps to have your perspective and the resources you add.
