A real gem
Do not miss this free college education. Having grown up in China, I find The History of China very well produced. The subject is extremely difficult given the vast amount of materials and conflicting accounts. But Chris Stewart made a very streamlined presentation, yet the depths of treatment is second to none. Many of the details he covered are hard to come by in common history lessons taught in China, definitely not from any high school. The podcast also presents a perspective of world history, which makes some events much easier to grasp. Just the courage to make decisions on what to tell and what to skip is admirable.
