Historical China

To get an overview of the history of China, I'm reading Stephen G. Haw's A Traveller's History of China [New York: Interlink Publishing Group Inc., 2003]. My son has shared with me, Jack Weatherford's Genghis Khan and the Making of the Modern World [New York: Three Rivers Press, 2004] which I think will be my reading material for the 30+ hour trip from my home in Pennsylvania to Chengdu in early October.
