《中国近百年政治史》是目前国内外学者经常参阅和广泛引用的经典著作，该书在李剑农1930年所著《最近三十年中国政治史》基础上，因大学教学需要，将鸦片战争到中日甲午战争这段历史补写了三章，为了帮助西方读者更好地理解内容，体现原著学术价值，译者在准确理解和精心翻译的同时，正文之外增加了五个辅助部分：译者前言、参考书目、阅读背景与注释、人名与地名索引，每章均插入1～2张中国分区地图。该书英文版由留美学者邓嗣禹潜心数年，精心译介。该书在美国20世纪50～70年代期间是对研究生教学中非常流行的参考书。这部著作不仅取材精准、叙事准确，对历史事件注意追根求源，并联系当时社会形势全面分析，还历史的原貌，评论时局无所忌讳，秉公伸张正义。
