| Description |
|
|
Credited with both unifying China and tormenting its citizenry, Qin Shi Huangdi, China's first emperor, is one the most controversial leaders in the nation's history. His reign brought such advances as standardized currencies, weights, and measures; a unified written and spoken language; and effective transportation networks. He was also obsessed with his own mortality and was buried with 7,000 life-size terra cotta warriors. This program delves into his complex history, from his brilliant military strategies to his iron-fisted rule. A bonus disc explores his most enduring legacy, the Great Wall of China.
