People rise and fall with the changing times; their comings and goings shape history.
Chinese history stretches back through the ages and is full of remarkable events: a journey from savagery to civilization, from conflict to integration, from division to unity, and from war to peace.
Based on the historical records in the Twenty-Four Histories, The Romance of Chinese History retells the shifting fortunes of the Qin and Han dynasties. It strives to be accessible, faithful to historical fact, well edited, and gripping. Apart from official titles, it also provides annotations for place names, era names, allusions, and other terms.
