Picador, Sydney, Date: 2006. First Edition. Hardcover. Good Condition/Very Good. First impression. Size: Octavo (standard book size). 412 pages. Text body is clean, and free from previous owner annotation, underlining and highlighting. Binding is tight, covers and spine fully intact. No foxing in this copy. A clear plastic contact wrapper is present. Edges browned slightly. Library stamps etc only on endpapers, half-title page.. This book is available and ready to be shipped.. This book looks behind the modern mythology of the Great Wall to uncover a 3000 year history far more fragmented and far less straightforwardly illustrious than its crowds of visitors imagine. The story of the Wall winds through that of the Chinese state and of the frontier policy that defined it, through the lives of the millions of individuals who supported, criticized, built and attacked it. It is time to see the Wall less as it is now - a great tourist attraction, an impressive piece of engineering - and more as it has been throughout its monumental history: a symbol that reveals China's sense of itself, and of the outside world.
