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.

评分鸦片战争已经过去170多年了,这一百多年里发生了无数影响中国乃至世界更为深远的事件,今天来回顾170年前的历史有多少是当下的人们想要了解的呢?有多少对当代仍有所助益的呢?又有多少是能够在今天仍能产生共鸣和回响的呢?意大利史学家克罗齐曾说过这样耳熟能详的话“一...
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...
评分华夏历史五千年,我们提起来总是无上荣光,然则传承之所以是传承,有时候好的坏的我们都要接着,也可以说,他们是不分好坏的。 茅海建真是清史第一考据王(私以为)。为啥等到欧洲拿着先进武器装备来打我们的时候,天朝一下就麻爪了? 一,以前总以为是我们闭关锁国技术落后,...
