The Fisrt Qin Emperor is a complete tyrant, who believed in violence, so he wanted to maintain his power in another world with a strong army. If there are Atom-bomb, the Fisrt Qin Emperor were more likely to be keen to own some.

I'd like to read this translated book, too. I've become curious about Chinese history, only partly due to "Curse of the Dragon Emperor" (which I'm watching right now) and also "Hero" (Jet Li, the chosen assassin). which *really* got it going. I've a hunch "Hero" was about the same period.

In Ap World History, we learned that Qin Shihuangdi was a strict follower of Legalist ideas. This made him very unpopular among his subjects. I found this very interesting.
The law, which the First Qin Emperor were keen on and stick to, is totally form the concept of a civilized law. the First Qin Emperor legilated the laws which only aimed to benefit himeself while a modern law made by a parliament in a civilized country is in every citizen's favour.
also in history, Qin Shi Huang appointed government officials, called censors, to make sure government officials did their jobs ! -This is also very interesting

Do you agree with his philosophy of "A thousand may die so that a million may live"? On one hand, although thousands died in the building of the Great Wall, thousnads more of lives were prbably saved during later wars.

It sounds reasonable, but what if you are among those so called a thousand died? Are you willing to die first for the safty of later people?
