Description

China's First Emperor and His Terracotta Warriors By Frances Wood The life and legacy of China's First Emperor remain shrouded in controversy. Was he a unifying force or a ruthless tyrant? This book explores the historical debates surrounding his rule, from his military conquests to his suppression of opposition. The emperor's impact on Chinese history is still felt today. At the heart of this story are the astonishing terracotta soldiers that surround his tomb, and the Great Wall he built to mark his empire's borders. Yet despite his achievements, the First Emperor has been vilified since his death. This book seeks to set the record straight, offering a nuanced understanding of one of China's most important figures. Through Wood's engaging narrative, readers can gain a deeper understanding of the complexities of Chinese history and the enduring legacy of its first emperor.
