This is one of the more useful general histories I have read. Divided into sections by dynasty, each section details the accomplishments for that period, as well as the events leading to the demise of that dynasty. I found it useful in that it discusses the influence that outside groups have had on Chinese culture (in more detail than other general histories I have read).
