Why did the Chinese empire collapse and why did it take so long for a new govement to reunite China? Mode Chinese Warfare, 1795-1989 seeks to answer these questions by exploring the most important domestic and inteational conflicts over the past two hundred years, from the last half of the Qing empire through to mode day China. It reveals how most of China's wars during this period were fought to preserve unity in China, and examines their distinctly cyclical patte of imperial decline, domestic chaos and finally the creation of a new unifying dynasty.
By 1989 this cycle appeared complete, but the author asks how long this govement will be able to hold power. Exposing China as an imperialist country, and one which has often manipulated weste powers in its favour, Bruce Elleman seeks to redress the views of China as a victimised nation.

For some, that distance from the so-called modern battlefield may make this study seem almost irrelevant. I...
