本书采用写实的笔法，使吴三桂曲折的人生历程活生生地再现于读者的面前，使读者能辨证地看待吴三桂，明白他是一个有血有肉、有情有义的男子汉，同时也是有为民族和国家前途及命运进行思考及追求的人。（This book adopts the technique of realism, makes Wu Sangui's tortuous journey vividly reappear in front of the readers, and let readers have a dialectical view of him, understanding that he is a person of flesh and blood, sentient and affection, as well as a righteous man who thinks for and purchases the ethnic and national future and destiny.)
