An interesting take by Rattenbury on the history and future directions of China from the angle of commonalities and differences to British society. Written at a time post war only just pre communist revolution, in only give scant mention to the CCP focussing on the then Nationalist system. The sensitive photography by reknowed lensman Cecil Beaton add a glorious touch to an intriguing and well meaning tome that is quite a time capsule now.
