Brief but nice overview of the subject,
By Dimitrios (Greece) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Terracotta Army of the First Emperor of China (Paperback)
Although this book is so brief that it can be read in a few minutes, it contains many marvellous color photographs of the chinese terracotta army and also gives interesting details regarding the first Chinese emperor and the nature of the armies of his times. One page is also devoted to the mystery of the Fourth Pit which was excavated but found empty of figures.
