The Problem of China (Illustrated)

Nobel Prize Winner Bertrand Russell was a British philosopher, logician, mathematician, historian, and social critic. A prominent anti war activist, Russell won the Nobel Prize for literature in in recognition of his varied and significant writings in which he champions humanitarian ideals and freedom of thought.
In this classic book, published in 1922, Russell explained in depth the power balance in China among British, French, Russia, US, Germany, and Japan in the late 19th century and early 20th century. It is wonderfully written, lucid and concise. He attempts to identify the three most pressing issues which China faced internally; the need for an orderly government, industrial development under Chinese control and the spread of education.
Although written from the perspective of the early 1900’s, this book is remarkably up-to-date, and is a very worthwhile read for those interested in understanding China and it’s culture.
