About this Item
Paperback. In 1908 at the age of two, Henry Pu Yi ascended to become the last emperor of the centuries-old Manchu dynasty. After revolutionaries forced Pu Yi to abdicate in 1911, the young emperor lived for thirteen years in Pekings Forbidden City, but with none of the power his birth afforded him. The remainder of Pu Yis life was lived out in a topsy-turvy fashion: fleeing from a Chinese warlord, becoming head of a Japanese puppet state, being confined to a Russian prison in Siberia, and enduring taxing labor. The Last Manchu is a unique, enthralling record of Chinas most turbulent, dramatic years. Important and fascinating. The New York. Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability. Seller Inventory # 9781602397323
