Mountain of Fame:
Portraits in Chinese History
John E. Wills Jr.

Book Description | Table of Contents

ADDITIONAL REVIEWS:

"Although intended for the inspired tourist or casual reader who wants a quick introduction to Chinese history, this collection of biographies is in no way superficial. Each of the 20 chapters offers a figure typical of his/her times and an elaboration of the contexts and backgrounds that shaped these individuals. . . ."--Library Journal

ADDITIONAL ENDORSEMENTS:

"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
