DESCRIPTION:

No visitor to China will ever miss the Great Wall, the colossal relic of history, which cuts across the northern parts of the country for a distance of some 7,300 kilometres. When did the Chinese build the wall? How did they do the job? What part did the wall play in the nation's history and cultural development?

Illustrated with over 200 colour photos and a dozen maps, the present volume answers questions like these by telling the whole story of the building and rebuilding of the wall from 7th century B.C. through the 16th century of the present era. It takes readers on a tour along the entire length of the wall, describing the well-preserved beautiful towers and castles as well as the ruins and traces in no man's land, explaining the historical background of the construction of the wall and giving architectural and engineering information. A chronology of the construction of the wall and an index are provided for anyone who wishes to do research on the Great Wall. The result of elaborate research and risky field work, the book is useful to academics and makes delightful reading for everyone.
