Winner of the 2012 Cundill Prize in HistoryA gripping account of China's nineteenth-century Taiping Rebellion, one of the largest civil wars in history. Autumn in the Heavenly Kingdom brims with unforgettable characters and vivid re-creations of massive and often gruesome battles--a sweeping yet intimate portrait of the conflict that shaped the fate of modern China. The story begins in the early 1850s, the waning years of the Qing dynasty, when word spread of a major revolution brewing in the provinces, led by a failed civil servant who claimed to be the son of God and brother of Jesus. The Taiping rebels drew their power from the poor and the disenfranchised, unleashing the ethnic rage of millions of Chinese against their Manchu rulers. This homegrown movement seemed all but unstoppable until Britain and the United States stepped in and threw their support behind the Manchus: after years of massive carnage, all opposition to Qing rule was effectively snuffed out for generations. Stephen R. Platt recounts these events in spellbinding detail, building his story on two fascinating characters with opposing visions for China's future: the conservative Confucian scholar Zeng Guofan, an accidental general who emerged as the most influential military strategist in China's modern history; and Hong Rengan, a brilliant Taiping leader whose grand vision of building a modern, industrial, and pro-Western Chinese state ended in tragic failure. This is an essential and enthralling history of the rise and fall of the movement that, a century and a half ago, might have launched China on an entirely different path into the modern world.

Haru LOVES this toy!
I recently purchased the Amazon Basics Hide and Seek Squeaky Dog Plush Toy, Rabbit and Carrot 5 Pack, and it has been an absolute hit with my dog Haru! This set has quickly become his favorite playtime activity, and it's easy to see why.
From the moment I introduced Haru to the plush toys, he was hooked! The rabbit and carrot design is not only adorable but also adds an element of excitement and curiosity for him. The toys' quality is impressive, with sturdy stitching that has held up well to Haru's enthusiastic play style.
The "hide and seek" aspect of the toys is brilliant. Each plush toy contains squeakers, which immediately captured Haru's attention. He thoroughly enjoys searching for the source of the squeaky sound and then triumphantly "catching" the rabbit or carrot. It's like a mini-game that keeps him mentally stimulated and entertained.
One of the best things about this 5-pack set is the variety it offers. Haru never gets bored because he can alternate between the different plush toys, and each one presents a new challenge for him. Whether he's "hunting" the rabbit or "nibbling" on the carrot, his excitement is contagious!
Furthermore, I appreciate how these toys keep Haru engaged for a good amount of time. As a busy dog owner, it's essential to have toys that can entertain him while I'm occupied with other tasks. The Hide and Seek Squeaky Dog Plush Toy accomplishes this perfectly, giving me some peace of mind knowing Haru is happily occupied.
