Trade paperback. Youmin, Guo (Photographer) (illustrator). 126, [2] p. Includes: illustrations, diagrams. Most illustrations in color This book tells the story of the Emporer Qin Shi Huang, how the mausoleum of the terracotta soldiers came to be unearthed, and its significance. The pit is described and presented in thorough detail, with 127 pages of color photographs. An excellent study of the pit in terms of craftsmanship and artistic appreciation. From Wikipedia: "Qin Shihuangdi (Wade-Giles: Chin Shih Huang; personal name: Zhao Zheng (Wade-Giles: Chao Cheng) was the king of the Chinese State of Qin from 246 BC to 221 BC, during the Warring States Period. He became the first emperor of a unified China in 221 BC. He ruled until his death in 210 BC at the age of 49] Calling himself the First Emperor after China's unification, Qín Sh Huáng is a pivotal figure in Chinese history, ushering in nearly two millennia of imperial rule. After unifying China, he and his chief advisor Li Si passed a series of major economic and political reforms. He undertook gigantic projects, including building and unifying various sections of the Great Wall of China, the now famous city-sized mausoleum guarded by the life-sized Terracotta Army, and a massive national road system, all at the expense of numerous lives. To ensure stability, Qin Shi Huang outlawed and burned many books and buried some scholars alive." Also from Wikipedia: "The Terracotta Army or the "Terra Cotta Warriors and Horses", is a collection of terracotta sculptures depicting the armies of Qin Shi Huang, the first Emperor of China. It is a form of funerary art buried with the emperor in 210 209 BC and whose purpose was to protect the emperor in his afterlife. The figures, dating from around the late third century BC, were discovered in 1974 by some local farmers in Lintong District, Xi'an, Shaanxi province. The figures vary in height according to their roles, with the tallest being the generals. The figures include warriors, chariots and horses. Current estimates are that in the three pits containing the Terracotta Army there were over 8, 000 soldiers, 130 chariots with 520 horses and 150 cavalry horses, the majority of which are still buried in the pits near by Qin Shi Huang's mausoleum. [2] Other terracotta non-military figures were also found in other pits and they include officials, acrobats, strongmen and musicians." Very good. Signed by previous owner.

Describing any war as average is a strange expression, and there is certainly nothing average about this fascinating memoir from author, Mike Peyton. Like thousands of others he gave an incorrect age to get into the army, worried that the war would be over before he could join in. Once in, he fought in the Western Desert until taken prisoner and transported first to Italy and then to Germany. In Germany he saw the Allied bombing of Dresden. He was initially sympathetic towards those in the city, but this was accompanied by the thought that it serves the bastards right . He escaped and walked East, eventually joining up with the Russian Red Army and fighting with them for the rest of his war. Signed by Author(s).

First edition of this biographical address of the author's father, delivered at the Thirty-eighth reunion of the Society of the Army of the Tennessee. Octavo, original wrappers. Author's card tipped in, "With the Compliments of the Author 15 William Street, New York City." In near fine condition with a few small losses to the extremities of the wrappers. General William Tecumseh Shermanâs son P. T. Sherman was a lawyer in New York, specializing in labor and insurance, and was elected a member of the New York Board of Alderman in the late 1880s. In the early 1900s, he was appointed the New York Commissioner of Labor. He transferred his library to his niece, Eleanor Sherman Fitch, the granddaughter of General Sherman through his eldest daughter, Maria âMinnieâ Ewing Sherman Fitch, before he died. Until now, this book was held at the family estate in Washington County, Pennsylvania. William Tecumseh Sherman served as a general in the Union Army during the American Civil War, achieving recognition for his command of military strategy as well as criticism for the harshness of the scorched earth policies that he implemented against the Confederate States. In 1864, Sherman succeeded Grant as the Union commander in the Western Theater. He led the capture of the strategic city of Atlanta, a military success that contributed to the re-election of President Abraham Lincoln. Sherman accepted the surrender of all the Confederate armies in the Carolinas, Georgia, and Florida in April 1865 and succeeded Ulysses S. Grant as Commanding General of the Army when Grant was elected President.
