I'm looking for an ebook on China History in the period immediately prior to WW2. Say 1900 to 1936 or 1850 to 1930s. I'm looking for a general history that is not super long.
Specifically, I'm looking for a book on background history to run a Call of Cthulhu scenario. I bought the Sasoon Files (Shanghai sourcebook) and while good, my background knowledge is inadequate.
Try The Wars for Asia 1911-1949 by SCM Paine. Might be a little wider in scope than what you requested.

Thanks - put that on my wishlist.
I ended up buying for $2.99 China 1921: The Travel Guide Kindle Edition which works better for the RPG game. If I was wargaming, I would have gotten the other first.
The one you got sounds more fitting for what you're doing, like you say. I got the book I posted for a pretty good discount for the Kindle version and plan on reading it while played Order of Battle - Morning Sun.
