Reader comments
This book is rich in content, covering all aspects of Chinese history. The pictures are precious and the text is detailed, giving people a more comprehensive understanding of Chinese history. I especially like the introduction of ancient torture instruments in the book, which reminds me of Lin Chong in "Water Margin". He was sent to wear shackles. This book is very similar to "General History of China", which is a systematic introduction to Chinese history, but "The Power of Torture Instruments" focuses more on introducing special aspects of history. All in all, this is a good book worth reading.
