thanks. I will check it out when I have time. Read through the review, one sentence caught my eyes:
"Before the European explosion began in the 15th Century, it seemed apparent that no race could be supreme. Even the arrogant Chinese were periodically overrun by less-cultured barbarians. "

I hope the author did not forget to mention that those "less-cultured barbarians" (like Mongolians in Yuan Dynasty, and Manchurians in Qing Dynasty) were usually ended up assimilated by "arrogant Chinese" (Han majority) by and large.
