No photos, which is kind of explained away by a couple points where he has his film confiscated, but not completely. I mean, zero photos?

Hard for me to pinpoint a problem with this book to hang my ambivalence on - the subject matter was interesting but perhaps I just didn't grip the framing? There is a lot of geography, but the maps aren't great. The book veers into chinese history at times, but those areas of the text drag.

In 1974, near Xi'an in central China, villagers made an astonishing archaeological find -- an 8,000-man pottery army in battle-ready formation 2,200 years old. The amazing army comes to life in this book which tells the incredible story behind one of the Wonders of the World.
