Tales of Chu and Han

This book tells the legendary history from the anti-Qin uprising to the Chu-Han Contention through a novel interwoven with commentary, viewed through the lens of modern marketing wisdom. The story begins with the Qin campaign to conquer Chu. The saying, "Though Chu has but three households left, Chu will be the one to overthrow Qin!" becomes a curse-like foreshadowing of history.

Under Hu Hai and Zhao Gao's tyrannical rule, public resentment boils over. Chen Sheng and Wu Guang raise the banner of revolt, and heroes rise up across the land.

In troubled times, the great waves sift the sands. Have you not seen the Yellow River's waters pour down from the heavens, rushing toward the sea, never to return? Chen Sheng, Wu Guang, Wu Chen, Wei Jiu, Tian Dan, Xiang Liang: one king after another is swept away by history. Xiang Liang's death in particular plunges the rebel forces into their darkest hour. It seems Qin general Zhang Han is about to pacify the realm once more. At this critical moment, Xiang Yu launches a mutiny and seizes power. At their most desperate hour, he defies fate and turns the tide, crushing every obstacle into dust…
