Add topics dealing with everyday life in Ancient China, and succinct biographies of some powerful figuresfrom Wu Ding, king of the Shang, to Sun Tzu, author of The Art of War, the first ever treatise on military strategyand 30-Second Ancient China becomes the perfect introduction to one of the great ancient civilizations.
