The Problem of China Audible Audio Edition Bertrand Russell Joel Allen MuseumAudiobookscom Books Reviews

• Bertrand Russell goes in specific details with the information and technology available at the time to compelled a rigorous analysis of the Chinese political state of the 1920's to provide pragmatic solutions to the challenges of that great nation. From the importance to draft the constitution, invest in education, create a strong government and defense army to the industrialization.
• This is a great book. A lot of information is dated by now (such as the population and geography of China), of course, but looking back, I see that Russell's understanding of China and prediction about China's future is amazingly correct. His discussion on China's relationship with Japan and the Chinese civilization is also very informative and interesting. He also wrote this book with sympathy -- an outsider trying his best to understand a foreign culture with a humble heart -- which, unfortunately I rarely see in books on China (in English) nowadays.
• Bertrand Russell gives an in-depth account and analysis of the problems faced by China during the early 20th century. While analyzing the dynamics at play on the global front, he also attempts to identify the three most pressing issues which China faced internally--the need for an orderly government, industrial development under Chinese control and the spread of education. Notwithstanding the fact that he is a Westerner, he strives to debunk myths and prevailing misconceptions of the Chinese people. Russell writes elegantly and this book is indeed a remarkable account for those who wish to learn more about China.
• The predictions of China is fascinating.
  It's really a rare thing that the author, though a Westerner, showed respect for the seemingly uncivilized country.
  Suitable learning material for a English learner.
• Traveling in China, Bertrand Russell had a lot to say about her abilities and greatness.
  It is refreshing to read a well-written and interesting account of China with historical perspective, and
  even though it is an older book this perspective makes the understanding of China and the Chinese
  much clearer.
• A bit wordy, but it seems that was the style of the time. However, it was extremely insightful of the Chinese character, as well as the Japanese and European character.
• Good reading.
• There is nothing that I can add to the excellent reviews already written.
  
  The format was done perfectly.
