China's history since the Opium Wars has been one of struggle with its own identity and humiliation at the hands of European powers and Japan. In this volume 2 we look at the victory of the communists, the flight of the nationalists to Taiwan, the time of the People's Republic of China under Mao and under Deng Xiaoping up to the Tian'anmen massacre.
