Editorial Reviews
The Close-Up series is the first of its kind to give you a concise introduction to individual aspects of China and its people. Each topic is presented by experts in their fields who write with brevity and clarity for the intelligent reader. In 1974, near Xi'an in central China, villagers made an astonishing archaeological find - an 8,000-man pottery army in battle-ready formation 2,200 years old. The amazing army comes to life in this book which tells the incredible story behind one of the Wonders of the World.

Brief but nice overview of the subject

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.
