Three Kingdoms PDF By:Guanzhong Luo Published on 2014-02-08 by Univ of California Press Updated with a new foreword by Moss Roberts for this fifteenth anniversary edition, Three Kingdoms tells the story of the fateful last reign of the Han dynasty (206 B.C.–A.D. 220), when the Chinese empire was divided into three warring kingdoms.
