註釋
"The First Emperor of China" chronicles Shihuang's life from his birth in 259 B.C. until his descent into madness and death in 210 B.C. Much of the story of one of mankind's most fascinating conquerors, builders and destroyers has never been told before. Yet, few Westerners are aware of what Qin Shihuang achieved. The illegitimate son of a treacherous merchant and a licentious concubine, his birth, ascension to the throne, conquests and amazing reign are vividly retold through a 50,000 word text illustrated by full-color photographs, maps and paintings from ancient China.
