I am pretty sure this biography is not 100 pages long - I've just discovered it on The Neglected Book Page which says about the author and this book: "
I am pretty sure this biography is not 100 pages long - I've just discovered it on The Neglected Book Page which says about the author and this book: "When I was in ninth and tenth grade I took a course in modern Chinese history. Our textbook, was, naturally, The Modern History Of China [Praeger, 1967] by Henry McAleavy (1911-1968). For a couple of decades afterward, I could repeat sentences and whole paragraphs verbatim from this, the best-written textbook I’ve ever encountered. McAleavy had lived in China from 1932 to 1949 and had a complete command of the language and literature of that nation, which influenced his style in myriad surprising and felicitous ways. This book is a biography of Henry Pu Yi, the “Last Emperor,” which, naturally, relies to a considerable part on Pu Yi’s Maoist-era autobiography and several Chinese books, but incorporates a lot of McAleavy’s first-hand observation of the emperor’s milieu. I hoped, when the movie came out, that it would be reissued, but no luck – McAleavy’s achievement seems to be completely forgotten even among Sinologists." I am generally cautious/sceptical about older histories/biographies but something about this one I can't resist and copies are plentiuful and cheap.
