From School Library Journal Grade 9 Up–Schoppa presents a fast-paced narrative of the last century using well-chosen excerpts from key primary sources: speeches, treaties, journalism, poems, letters, laws, etc., tied together with concise and informative editorial commentary. The picture on the front cover–a bridge connecting old and new China–exemplifies the book's visual component; it is replete with black-and-white cartoons, posters, photos, and reproductions, all of which are telling and memorable. Relevant and important portions of text have been condensed from lengthy tomes into digestible and understandable pieces. The final chapter, on China and the world today, partially sums up what has preceded it. Captions, selected quotations in sidebars, marginal glosses, text and picture credits, and a pronunciation guide all add to this well-organized book's utility and educational value.–Patricia D.
