About this product
Product Information
Beware the Dragon is all about them and us - a fast-moving tale of historic events, the reasons behind them, the decisive battles, and the bloodshed and horror they caused. Erik Durschmied's vivid survey of the fateful centuries presents a dramatic picture of how new political entities were born out of the ruins of bankrupt empires, and the borders of the world redrawn.On the morning of 9 April 1241, a rider horde came thundering from the East, and shattered the steely might of Europe's proud knights. In the early hours of 24 November 1950, another horde of Chinese soldiers smashed into the army of the United Nations in Korea. Between these two conflicts were seven centuries of near-uninterrupted bloodshed.Following World War II came the ill-fated Marshall Mission, a failed invasion of Taiwan, the rape of Tibet and the perilous Ussuri Gamble. And then, after Zhou Enlai's and Kissinger's ping-pong diplomacy, just when things seemed again to have been put right, two warplanes collided over the China Sea.Collisions between China and the rest of the world are among the most vexing challenges of history - a succession of massive, brutal confrontations, involving millions. The story is a saga of mayhem and confusion, blunders and mistakes that brought the belligerents no credit; in telling it the author paints a fascinating and coherent picture of China's rise from isolation to its emerging superpower position.The world has accepted the fact of uncertainly, fearing China's capabilities but not, apparently, its intentions. Yet modern China faces daunting challenges - mounting internal social protest, and foreign trade wars - that could derail its phenomenal rise and deliver a crippling shock to global economy. Trade wars can easily lead, and often have, to shooting wars. The writing is on the wall.

The book arrived well packed get & I pristine condition at a good price. I would have liked it by 1st class post & I contacted this Seller via EBAY 'CONTACT' but got NO RESPONSE via either my email account or on ebay and certainly not in my Spam folder...SO what can you say I was inconvenienced a bit but got a positive outcome? I think they're reliable for transactions but something is remiss with electronic communication via EBAY or perhaps not tech savvy or disinterested or unwell etc..

As usual with this seller, the book was exactly as described and very well packed. However, delivery times can vary significantly. This was one of 4 books ordered at the same time. Two arrived in about a week, but this one took almost 3 weeks. A reliable seller who answers questions promptly, but could improve on dispatch times.

If you're happy to buy it now, receive it sometime in the future, this is the seller for you. Strangely nebulous and self destructive despatch times for a modern business, but, I've got my book, it was reasonably priced, packed okay and as described so a perfectly decent transaction. Happy enough customer, all fine.
