Description

Explore a deep look into Chinese military history with this comprehensive survey from Routledge. Covering the significant years from 900 to 1795, this work stands as the only book in English to span this specific timeframe. Peter Lorge examines how war functioned as a primary tool for building and maintaining the Chinese empire, challenging existing theories regarding the nation's relationship to conflict. This text connects military events directly to political outcomes. By organizing chapters around specific military milestones, the book demonstrates how a dynasty's military capacity determined its political impact and the strength of its territorial claims. It provides a clear view of how military power and politics shaped the development of early modern China. This is an essential resource for students and historians looking to understand the connection between warfare and statecraft during these centuries.
