Charles Holcombe begins this extraordinarily ambitious 2011 book by asking the question 'What is East Asia?' In the modern age, many of the features that made the region - now defined as including China, Japan, and Korea - distinct have been submerged by the effects of revolution, politics or globalization. Yet, as an ancient civilization, the region had both an historical and cultural coherence. It shared a Confucian heritage, some common approaches to Buddhism, a writing system that is deeply imbued with ideas and meaning, and many political and institutional traditions. This shared past and the interconnections among three distinct, yet related societies are at the heart of this book, which traces the story of East Asia from the dawn of history to the twenty-first century. Charles Holcombe is an experienced guide who encapsulates, in a fast-moving and colorful narrative, the vicissitudes and glories of one of the greatest civilizations on earth.
• An introduction to East Asia from the dawn of history to the present by a premier scholar in the field • Emphasizes connections between China, Japan and Korea, as well as wider Eurasian and global currents • Features illustrations, maps, a glossary, a pronunciation guide, a timeline and a bibliography

core course 的必读书之一。说东亚的coherences在于汉字，佛教和儒家文化。
评分读这书估计一半以上都是自己人（微笑
评分言简意赅。 算是比较面面俱到。
评分为了对日本历史扫盲看的，所以基本只看了日本部分， 还是明治维新之前的，因为之后可看的材料就丰富多了。 优点是是把东亚放在一个系统里去写的，所以可以对照着中国和韩国的进程看。问题是，从英文书来看日本历史，一直在查字典啊，那些人名地名作品名，后来烦躁的要命。当然这不是书的问题，这是我的问题。
评分可读性挺强，熟悉历史的读起来应该问题不大，词汇中等，四百多页，耗时是必须的，所以半途而废。
