Two short books on China

Two short books to introduce. Both are by C. P. Fitzgerald. Sometimes, older works can provide a different insight, given the contemporary views.

A CONCISE HISTORY OF EAST ASIA is a short book dealing with the history of the Chinese, Korean and Japanese people, with each of them given their own sections.

China: A Short Cultural History. Third Edition. is a short book, first written back in the 1940s but edited in the 1950s and 1960s. It deals with the history of the Chinese people, with the author's thoughts that the Chinese people share many similarities with the American people.

Both are old books, but you might still be able to get them from Amazon.com via affiliated sellers.
