Sinossi

The Western Han Dynasty: A History of China, PART THREE takes you on a journey through ambition, betrayal, war, and the struggle for power. From Emperor Yuan’s court to the dynasty’s fall and rebirth under Liu Xiu, this book brings to life the rulers, rebels, and visionaries who shaped one of China’s most fascinating eras. 
Inside the imperial palace, love and power intertwined. Figures like Zhao Feiyan, a dancer turned empress, and the “Cut-Sleeve Emperor,” whose personal life left a historic mark, rose to prominence. Meanwhile, political schemes brewed. Wang Mang, a seemingly noble reformer, seized the throne, triggering chaos, rebellion, and his own dramatic downfall. 
Beyond the palace, Han power extended through diplomacy and war. General Chen Tang’s bold campaign proved Han’s far-reaching influence. Meanwhile, Wang Zhaojun, sent to marry a Xiongnu chieftain, sacrificed her status to bring peace beyond the Great Wall. 
As the empire crumbled, Liu Xiu waited. Patient and strategic, he seized the moment to lead a rebellion that restored the Han Dynasty. His rise marked the climax of this era of transformation. 
This is more than history—it’s a saga of power, betrayal, sacrifice, and resilience. If you love epic tales of real-life intrigue and legacy, this book will draw you deep into the Western Han's dramatic rise, fall, and rebirth.
