The Late Han and Three Kingdoms: A History of China, Part One plunges you into one of China’s most turbulent eras—a time when an empire fell and legends were born. From the Yellow Turban Rebellion to the rise of Cao Cao, Liu Bei, Sun Jian, and Lü Bu, this story captures a world where ambition, loyalty, and betrayal collided. Amid chaos, He Jin’s downfall, Dong Zhuo’s tyranny, and Lü Bu’s fierce yet fickle valor ignite the empire’s unraveling. The brotherhood of Liu Bei, Guan Yu, and Zhang Fei shines with courage and honor as they battle impossible odds. Meanwhile, Cao Cao turns turmoil into power, Emperor Xian becomes a pawn, and Sun Ce—the “Young Tiger of Jiangdong”—builds the foundation of a southern kingdom. This is a tale of heroes, schemers, and dreamers whose choices reshaped China’s destiny.
