For its length, China by Edward Rutherfurd covers Chinese history only from the First Opium Wars to the beginning of Mao's Cultural Revolution. A significant portion of the book is the perspective of the British and Americans who find themselves in China at this time rather the Chinese perspective which is unfortunate. I still enjoy the book and learn a lot. It is just not quite what I expected.
