A Clear-Eyed History of China

Great, giving you historical interpretation from different angles.

Really good. It not only proves from many angles and aspects that Zhuge Liang is not what the Internet mediocrity said. It also correctly criticized the whitewashed Emperor Yang of Sui from multiple angles and aspects.

Very good very good very good

This book is like a window to ancient times. I was immersed in those beautiful paintings and felt the charm of history at the same time. The sentence in the book, "One can take its place," made me see Xiang Yu's ambition and straightforwardness. He knew what he wanted and worked hard for it. Liu Bang, on the other hand, was pushed by the current situation, and every step he took seemed like an arrangement of fate. This book gave me a deeper understanding of historical figures and the impermanence of fate.

Well written, enlightening

While the author says he has a materialist view of history, he is also full of conjectures.

The information is comprehensive and the history is restored to its true colors.

The language is simple, the narrative is clear, interesting and fascinating!

A must read if you like history

The argument is pretty good
