The Qing Dynasty surveys the Manchu-led empire that ruled China from the seventeenth century until 1912. It follows conquest and consolidation, territorial expansion, population growth and the complex administration of a multi-ethnic imperial state.

The book examines court culture, commerce, scholarship and relations with Inner Asia and European powers. It then traces the pressures of the Opium Wars, rebellion, foreign intervention and reform, showing how military defeat and domestic crisis gradually undermined dynastic authority and produced revolution.
