China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors Review

Average Reviews:

(More customer reviews)
If you want to learn about Chinese history here is a short easy way to start. You won't learn much about the Terra Cotta Warriors as promised in the subtitle, but the essentials about the First Emperor are here.
There is an overview of his rise to power, his achievements and the modern interpretations of his legacy. Issues, such as Confucianism vs. Daoism, wall building and did he or didn't he burn books are discussed.
There are lots of illustrations. They are placed alongside of the material they illuminate.
The last chapter about how the symbolism of the First Emperor figures in more recent Chinese politics is interesting, but doesn't quite fit. It seems as though it was an essay used for some other purpose edited to fit this one.
