Description

This comprehensive survey of Chinese military history spans 900 to 1795, examining how warfare shaped the empire's development and political structure. Peter Lorge challenges conventional theories about China's relationship with military conflict, demonstrating that war was the primary instrument used to build and maintain imperial authority. The book explores the critical connections between military capacity and political power, showing how each dynasty's territorial control and influence depended directly on military strength. Chapters are organised around pivotal military events, illustrating how strategic warfare determined the rise and fall of ruling powers throughout this transformative period. An essential resource for understanding how military decisions shaped China's political landscape and territorial expansion over nearly nine centuries.

Key Features
