Great Men of Chinese History

Was the First Emperor of Qin a tyrant or the greatest statesman China ever had? Kuwabara Jitsuzō (1871-1931), a founder of Japanese sinology, argues for greatness, and goes on to portray Ban Chao, Confucius and Zhuge Liang, and to propose a new date for the birth of Sima Qian.

Complete and unabridged, with a translator's note and endnotes.
