A brief history of Imperial China during the 1520-1840s
This is a fairly expensive book for 48 pages but it does a credible job of describing the era in Imperial China between 1520 and 1840.

Poor illustrations mar this book
These series of booklets are primers to niche areas in history. Thus, the text is basic and acts as a supporting cast to the illustrations. The illustrations are dreary, with an overt painterly look. Low on details which is a pity as these series of books are also targetted at reenactors and figure modellers.

There are eight different paintings of various chinese troops in different armor and many black and white pictures throughout the book showing weapons and statues of the period. Various essays in the book also describe the armies of the time, some of the weapons and the setting to each era. In all it does a credible overview of the era and is a very good primer for readers interested in the era.
