Bringing the World Together
History Flashback is an enjoyable and practical way to better understand Chinese history. Now more than ever we need this historical enlightenment to go beyond just what we hear in the media about China. As global citizens living in an increasingly interconnected world, it is so important to have a better understanding of and empathy for not only the things that divide us, but also for the things that bring us together.

Like history to my ears
China is no longer rising. It's risen. If it rises further it will be above on a balcony looking down at other nations.
With that, I read this book wanting to know the historical background to China's development. What binds all the people that live in the middle kingdom that we call "Chinese"? Who was China's most influence emperor? What led to the collapse of the final Qing dynasty? What does Chinese history tell us about China's future and how does it shape foreign relations?
The book had chapters on all of these topics, and the narrative was engaging throughout.
