This book describes the career of Sir George Macartney, who spent twenty-eight years at the turn of the nineteenth century as British representative in Sinkiang, China's most westerly province.
Macartney was in a unique position to observe political and diplomatic manoeuvres by the key players trying to establish a sphere of influence in China's strategically vital hinterland before and during the Chinese revolution. 410 0$aChina, history, philosophy, economics ;$v27. 607 $aXinjiang Uygur Zizhiqu (China)$xHistory 608 $aElectronic books. 676 $a327.20924 676 $a327/.2/0924 700 $aSkrine$b C.
