Booklist : "There's plenty of information to support reports, all of which is presented in veteran series writer Kallen's straightforward, sometimes lively language. Each useful volume concludes with a glossary and further readings."
-- Booklist (May 2003)
School Library Journal : "This book does a fine job of making connections between the modern world and ancient history. Full-color photos, some of which are quite dramatic, appear throughout, and the inclusion of accidents of nature...increase the book's appeal."
-- School Library Journal (April 2003)
Book Description
A terracotta army-8,000 life-sized clay soldiers, with chariots and horses--was unearthed in 1974 in one of the most astounding and perplexing archaeological discoveries in modern times. Created 2,200 years ago for Qin Shihuangdi, the first Emperor of China, the clay army is still shrouded in mystery.
