"Wills is very perceptive to take the 'lives and times' approach to Chinese history. Not only does this enliven the material for a beginner, but it is true, as he says, that the Chinese, perhaps more than other people, love to personalize their history."--Perry Link, Princeton University
"It is a great achievement to make the historical figures so accessible, with vivid details that seem to have escaped the attention of earlier historians. In scope, method, and quality, .. . This book is unique."--Kwang-Ching Liu, University of California, Davis
