Publisher Synopsis
'"...this collection sheds new light on warfare in Chinese history. It will force the reader to abandon many preconceptions and drastically modify what is not abandoned. It shows that China, contrary to many Western assumptions, has not been a military failure and empirically hammers this point home...This is an important book and will broaden the horizons of everyone who troubles to read it."' Lewis Bernstein, "Military History", 2001.
