Imperial Warlord: A Biography of Cao Cao
August 30, 2010
by James Peirce
Rafe de Crespigny new book, Imperial Warlord: A Biography of Cao Cao has been published by Brill Academic and is now available for pre-order on Amazon.com. It carries a price tag of $248 (at the time of writing), but offers 600 pages of what is certain to be the finest history of Cao Cao available to the English reader (if not everyone), and an excellent opportunity to learn so much more about one of the Three Kingdoms’ most important and misunderstood players. We would definitely love to read this one. Update: $167.40 at Barnes & Noble

Featured Website: The Three Kingdoms Wiki
May 21, 2010
by James Peirce
Description: “The Three Kingdoms Wiki is an online encyclopedia focussing on the historical aspect of the Three Kingdoms, featuring biographies and battles as primary categories, as well as terminology, items, media and more. Currently still in the early stages, with the goal of becoming a reliable source for everything concerning the Three Kingdoms.”
As is often the case with a website before I link to it, it has been around for a little while, and is now starting to become a good Three Kingdoms resource for various topics. Why not Wikipedia? Wikipedia is a great source for information on the most popular Three Kingdoms characters, events, topics and historic figures (and should be a part of a researcher’s toolbox for these things), but a terrible source to rely on for nearly everything else due to regular inclusion of fictional events without distinguishing from history. The Three Kingdoms Wiki is still young and still needs to be adequately sourced, but a smaller centralized group has the potential to address these problems. Such could be the case for any independent well-managed Three Kingdoms Wiki.
This is also the reason why our Three Kingdoms Encyclopedia isn’t open to public editing. We wish to preserve accuracy between historic and novel-based events. If you would like to participate in that, please contact me! We’d love to hear from you.
