Terracotta Army

I would LOVE to see the Terracotta Soldiers! This book gave GREAT pictures and info.

Brief but nice overview of the subject

Although this book is so brief that it can be read in a few minutes, it contains many marvellous color photographs of the chinese terracotta army and also gives interesting details regarding the first Chinese emperor and the nature of the armies of his times. One page is also devoted to the mystery of the Fourth Pit which was excavated but found empty of figures.
