The Establishment of the Han Empire and Imperial China (Greenwood Guides to Historic Events of the Ancient World) by Grant Hardy

Very good - short and easy to read but with a lot of interesting information. Especially interesting on technology and innovations.

HANS BIELENSTEIN
The bureaucracy of Han Times

One of the most detailed and best books for later han government. Goes really in depth with ranks, what they did, and how the Shih tanking system worked. It useses both literature made at the time on the government system as well as modern books done on the time, comparing and referencing to show how they got there work.

Excellent book I recommend with 4 stars
