Ideally something covering at least the time leading up to the revolution up until now. I'm skeptical of Western accounts, and I'm having trouble finding leftist reviews of books like "The Search for Modern China" to show that they're not full of propaganda.
Any suggestions?
Perhaps Socialism with Chinese Characteristics: A Guide for Foreigners by Roland Boer. It's quite theoretical, though. Maybe not quite what you're looking for.
I started this book a while ago but didn't finish. Not really what I'm looking for right now but definitely someone I plan to read.
