The Heart of the Dragon
by Alasdair Clayre
281 pages (hardcover)
Genre: Nonfiction/Historical/China
I bought two books on China at the book sale in February--and see, they're coming in handy now! It's always nice to own reference books, rather than having to deal with library due dates. This one was very useful, although I skimmed the latter parts of every chapter once it got to the Cultural Revolution. And the inside covers have a pretty map spread, which I anticipate referencing in the future.
And bonus points for using Pinyin instead of Wade-Giles!
