English title: The First Emperor of Qin: An Analytical Journey into History. Author: Lü Shihao. Taipei: Pingan Cultural Publishers, 2014. Paper. 255pp.
Absolutely brilliant. A clear, thoughtful, informative, and highly readable account of the rise and fall of China's Qin dynasty. The two main themes are "deceit" and "force," and what happens when a state is created and run on these two bases. Recommended to any- and everybody who can read Chinese.
This series just broaden my horizon on history. I realized how history could help me in nowadays. Highly recommend to anyone who would like to inspire wisdom and guide life.
