Revisit history in a humorous mood, with a witty account of the legendary lives of Qin Shi Huang, the Hegemon-King of Western Chu, and Emperor Gaozu of Han.
Volume One, The Glorious Deeds of Qin, begins with Ying Zheng’s enthronement and describes Qin’s conquest of the six states at the end of the Warring States period, continuing through the death of Qin Shi Huang.
Volume Two, The Splendor of Chu, starts with the Chen Sheng and Wu Guang uprising. It tells how the Chu army, led by Xiang Yu with Liu Bang as his deputy, fought fiercely in the great peasant rebellion to overthrow the tyrannical Qin and strike fear into the feudal lords.
Volume Three, The Radiance of Han Virtue, recounts the Chu-Han Contention. Liu Bang, once a Chu military commander, establishes his state in Hanzhong, then advances east from Hanzhong to challenge Xiang Yu for dominion over the land, ultimately founding the Han dynasty.
The whole book emphasizes one thing: fun, using “fun” to mask the bloodshed and brutality.
