Romance of the Three Kingdoms
As the Han dynasty collapses, three men swear brotherhood in a peach garden and set out to restore it, while the warlord Cao Cao takes the north and a third power holds the river south. A century of sieges, defections and stratagems follows, with the strategist Zhuge Liang outthinking whole armies from a sedan chair. 'Empires wax and wane'; oath-brotherhood and betrayal across a century of civil war.
