內容介紹：
From about 1600 to 1800, the Qing empire of China expanded to unprecedented size. Through astute diplomacy, economic investment, and a series of ambitious military campaigns into the heart of Central Eurasia, the Manchu rulers defeated the Zunghar Mongols, and brought all of modern Xinjiang and Mongolia under their control, while gaining dominant influence in Tibet. The China we know is a product of these vast conquests.
從公元1600年到1800年，大清帝國擴張到了一個史無前例的地步。通過精明的外交、經濟投資和一系列野心勃勃深入中亞心髒的軍事行動，滿人統治者們打敗了准噶爾蒙古人，把今天的新疆和蒙古地區置於自己的控制之下，同時在西藏取得了決定性的影響。今日我們所說的中國就是這些大規模征服行動的產物。
Peter C. Perdue chronicles this little-known story of China’s expansion into the northwestern frontier. Unlike previous Chinese dynasties, the Qing achieved lasting domination over the eastern half of the Eurasian continent. Rulers used forcible repression when faced with resistance, but also aimed to win over subject peoples by peaceful means. They invested heavily in the economic and administrative development of the frontier, promoted trade networks, and adapted ceremonies to the distinct regional cultures.
濮德培用編年史的形式，記載了這個少為人知的中國向西北邊陲擴張的故事。不象以前的中國王朝，清朝在歐亞大陸的東半部取得了可持續的統治力。統治者們在遇到反抗時會采取強力的壓制手段，但他們也通過和平的手段來贏取被征服人們的心。他們在邊疆的經濟與行政管治上投資甚巨，提升了貿易網絡，也修改了自己的禮儀以適應截然不同的當地文化。
Perdue thus illuminates how China came to rule Central Eurasia and how it justifies that control, what holds the Chinese nation together, and how its relations with the Islamic world and Mongolia developed. He offers valuable comparisons to other colonial empires and discusses the legacy left by China’s frontier expansion. The Beijing government today faces unrest on its frontiers from peoples who reject its autocratic rule. At the same time, China has launched an ambitious development program in its interior that in many ways echoes the old Qing policies.
濮德培例證了中國是如何征服中亞、如何來為這種征服辯護、是什麼使得中國這個國家統一在一起、以及中國和伊斯蘭世界、蒙古的關系。他把中國和其他殖民帝國作了頗有價值的比較，論述了這種邊疆擴張給今天留下的遺產。今日的中國政府面臨來自這些地區的騷亂，與此同時，中國政府也在這些地區啟動了一項野心勃勃的發展計劃。在許多方面，這項計劃和當年的清朝政策類似。
China Marches West is a tour de force that will fundamentally alter the way we understand Central Eurasia.
《西征》這本傑作將會從根本上改變人們對中亞的理解方式。
