Does anyone have any books they would recommend for a first time traveler to China? I have the Lonely planet china guide (for travel info) and I wanted to learn more about chinese history, so I can appreciate what I see more. I just bought Wild Swans by Jung Chang to get a perspective of the more recent history. Was considering Kissenger's book On China as well. Obviously the history of China is soo vast I can't hope to learn a ton of detail about each era, but was hoping for something that would provide a basic overview.
