Empress Dowager Cixi
Jung Chang, Author of Wild Swans, has done it again with another excellent book on the history of China. Cixi ruled China from behind her Son's Throne from 1861 and throughout history has been wrongly vilified. Based on new evidence, this vivid biography has so many unbelievable twists and turns that will keep you captivated till the very end. If you are interested in China or going for a visit to the Forbidden City, this is a must read Sometimes the truth is definitely stranger than fiction.
