Publisher Synopsis
'This book is the most interesting history ever written of the Manchus in Chinese life, and one of the most important contributions to Qing studies in the last decade. The author knows his subject well and conveys that authority in his writing. Not only that, the book is engagingly, even elegantly written, with enviable clarity and nice touches of ironic humor.'
