The Opium War of 1839-42, the first military conflict to take place between China and the West, is a subject of enduring interest. Mao Haijian, one of the most distinguished and well-known historians working in China, presents the culmination of more than ten years of research in a revisionist reading of the conflict and its main Chinese protagonists. Mao examines the Qing participants in terms of the moral standards and intellectual norms of their own time, demonstrating that actions which have struck later observers as ridiculous can be understood as reasonable within these individuals' own context. This English-language translation of Mao's work offers a comprehensive response to the question of why the Qing Empire was so badly defeated by the British in the first Opium War - an answer that is distinctive and original within both Chinese and Western historiography, and supported by a wealth of hitherto unknown detail.
Mao Haijian is a professor of history at the University of Macau and East China Normal University. He studied at Sun Yat-sen University and East China Normal University. He has previously held appointments at the Institute of Military Science, the Institute of Modern History at the Chinese Academy of Social Science, and Peking University. His books and essays have won numerous prizes, and include several monographs on the Hundred Days' Reform of 1898, a further monograph on the Opium Wars, and a biography of the Xianfeng emperor.

评分史实的重建与史料的解读 ——读《天朝的崩溃---鸦片战争再研究》 关于鸦片战争的研究,近几十年来已有不少的著作。然而绝大多数著作都是沿着唯物主义历史观的步调,对鸦片战争作略显重复而无新意的研究。...

评分以前读张荫麟先生的《东汉前中国史纲》,很深的一个印象就是与历史课本不同,书中记述的历史“政治味儿”又或者说“道德味儿”不是那么重。平实真切地记录,还历史以原貌,这本写在1928年的书令我见识到世纪初学人的大家风范。 茅海建的《天朝的崩溃——鸦片战争再研究》让我感...
