In the chaotic times of the late Qin Dynasty, the world fell apart and princes from all walks of life rose up one after another.
The disputes between princes, the contest of power and the fighting on the battlefield constitute a thrilling historical picture. At this dusk, the old order is broken and a new pattern is taking shape.
This book shows the rise and fall of the princes through detailed historical materials and vivid descriptions. Some of them relied on force to dominate for a while, but came to an end due to their own willfulness; some were good at strategy and sought survival and development in troubled times.
This is not only a history about war and power, but also a profound reflection on human nature, ideals and destiny.
