- Summary:
- To Rule All under Heaven offers an illuminating history of the Warring States period (481-221 BCE), a foundational era of Chinese civilization. It begins in the life of Confucius and extends to the reign of the First Emperor, who founded an empire that would become one of the longest-enduring political systems in human history. Andrew Seth Meyer recounts a detailed history that is replete with dramatic stories and characters and shows how a radically new social order was formed through war, diplomacy, commerce, philosophy, literature, science, and artistic expression.
