Description

Gain a unique perspective on Chinese military history with this essential text from the Routledge Studies in the Early History of Asia series. In this work, Nicola Di Cosmo provides an annotated translation of the only known military diary from pre-modern Chinese history. This rare document offers a direct look into the inner workings of the Ch'ing army through the eyes of a young Manchu officer. By following the author's personal experiences while fighting in the inhospitable regions of South-Western China, readers get close to the actual face of battle in the seventeenth century. This book serves as a vital resource for anyone interested in the expansion of the Ch'ing dynasty and the daily realities of military life during this era. It enriches general knowledge of military history by moving beyond broad movements to focus on the individual experiences of those on the front lines.
