Description:As the home of the Manchu people, Manchuria has had a huge impact on the history of the modern world – whether through the Manchu emperors, a dynasty which only collapsed after WWI, the interactions between Russia and China in the 20th Century or the invasion of Manchuria by Japan during the Second World War. Mark Gamsa seeks to re-orientate the history of the East around Manchuria – a region with much to offer for scholars of Russia, China and the East.
