后帖木儿时代: 全球帝国的兴与衰（1400-2000）

The book reexamines the past of our world from a fresh angle. Our idea of the worlds history is still dominated by Western thinking: the expansion of Europe occupies the central stage. However, in most time among 600 years history, the great Asia empire can compare with the European one. The violent change in Europe and Asia breaks the power balance. China, despite all difficulties, survives and develops while British Empire and Nazi Empire both fall. The rise, downfall and sustaining of empire have always been a fascinating topic in world history.
