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.
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.

评分把《天朝的崩溃》看完了。非常佩服茅海建的史料功夫和他史笔,只是文章的大致内容好像从哪本书里看到过的。 猛然想起,易中天的《帝国的惆怅里》里不是有一篇叫做《鸦片的战争与战争的鸦片》吗?于是赶紧找来翻。很快,半个小时,看完了。让我有些失望——易中天基本上把茅海...
