| Abstract | Any way readers look at it, the past 100 years have been hard ones for China. Jonathan Spence and his wife, Annping Chin, have provided 265 ways of looking at China's turbulent 20th century in The Chinese Century: A Photographic History (HarperCollins, London, 264 pages, 30 pounds, hardback). They spent two years patiently combing archives and libraries in China to publish this extraordinary collection of black and white photographs from the Boxer Rebellion to the Tiananmen crackdown. |
