A good translation of the Qin dynasty material August 19, 1999
1 out of 2 found this review helpful
When reading this book, one soon gets the impression of a textually accurate work, which still manages to word the translation in an easily accesable manner. Dawson presents the reader with a riveting period of history, retaining the dry humour, insightful observations, and direct style of The Grand Historian. This book is well suited to the casual historian, the interested amateur, and the average student of Chinese history. However, therein lies my one complaint. In cutting out certain small passages that, Dawson believes, would cloud the clarity of the translation for the layperson, i feel that the more experienced reader loses out somewhat. Nevertheless, this remains a commendable effort from an emminent figure, in a difficult field.
