Medieval Chinese Armies 1260-1520 (Men-at-Arms)
Editorial Reviews
Book Description
The period covered in this book by C. J. Peers begins with the accession in 1260 of Kubilai, grandson of Chinggis, as ruler of the Mongol Empire. Within a few years he was to gain the rest of China and lose the western parts of his realm, in effect giving China unity and independence under an alien dynasty. The history, organisation and tactics of Chinese armies from 1260-1520 are discussed here, together with numerous illustrations and eight full page colour plates by David Sque.
