Reader comments
This book is very good! I especially like the historical maps inside, which make my understanding of historical events and characters more intuitive. Moreover, Mr. Lu Simian's writing style is fluent and rich in content. I think his evaluation of the behavior of historical figures is very objective. For example, when he talked about the political reforms of a certain dynasty, he not only analyzed the pros and cons of the reforms, but also discussed the motivations and backgrounds of the reformers, which gave me a deeper understanding of that era. All in all, this is a history book that is worth reading and I recommend it to you!
Easy to read, good, good
The language is plain and the narration is well-founded and interesting without being boring!
A good book with rich pictures and text, you can see the historical story more clearly when combined with the map.
