A short history of Asia

"Western attitudes to Asia are often influenced by areas of quasi-myth - the Indian "mutiny", the samurai, the Tien An Men Square "massacre". Why is it that the Tamil Tigers pursue the rebellion in Sri Lanka with such ferocity? Why has western democracy so often failed in the Asian nations? This book outlines the reasons and realities about these things, and many others, in a fascinating array of facts and ideas."--Jacket.
