Abstract
Description
This book tells the story of three powerful dynasties--Yuan, Ming and Qing--that ruled China from 1271 to 1911. The quality of their leadership varied enormously, from accomplished military commanders to child-emperors manipulated by the adults around them. In this book we see how this succession of emperors moulded China\'s character until the final collapse of the Imperial system in 1911. [GMS]
