reviewed Understanding China: A Guide to China's Economy, History and Political Culture on December 28, 2012 Understanding China
I picked this book up because I a) have a love of history and b) have a love of Asian cultures. It took be a little over a year to finish this between school and other lighter endeavors, but I'm glad I did. Fantastic understanding of a complicated country. I would recommend this is anyone who is either interested in foreign countries, or ANY business student looking to get into the world of international business. Starr helped me on both accords with this book. I have it annotated and will be going back to it (hopefully) time and time again in the future. Great stuff. I want to dive more deeper into Chinese history/philosophy
