first emperor
|
This is a 5 star production but that is only to be expected from the British Museum. The book deals with the life and times of Ying Zheng (born 259BC died 210BC)who first became King of Qin and later Emperor of Qin uniting China as a single country concuering the Warring states. The text is excellent and lucid.The pictures are outstanding but the maps are wishy washy. Two subsections of the book deal with the emperors mausoleum and the terracotta army which was created to protect the emperor after death.(asmall book by the same author deals only with the terracotta army) Thisbook is very expensive but worth it
