Reviews
"Waterson's treatment is clear, a considerable achievement considering the often very complex ways in which events unfolded. He links the events in China to contemporary developments in the rest of the world, sometimes in startling ways (e.g., the "movements" of the trebuchet). Waterson often explains events in China by comparing them with similar developments in other parts of the world, which is a considerable help for anyone who is a novice to Chinese history. And Waterson is not shy about criticizing Western perceptions of China (e.g., just how familiar were Chinese generals with Sun-Tzu?). Defending Heaven is a good read for such novices, but also will satisfy the more seasoned student of Chinese history."

Synopsis
Defending Heaven brings together, for the first time in one volume, a complete history of the Jin, Song and Ming dynasties' wars fought against the Mongols. Lasting nearly two centuries, these wars, fought to defend Chinese civilization against a brutal and unrelenting foe, pitted personal heroics against the inexorable Mongol war machine and involved every part of the Chinese state. The resistance of the Chinese dynasties to the Khans is a complex and rich story of shifting alliances and political scheming, vast armies and navies, bloody battles and an astonishing technological revolution. The great events of China's Mongol war are described and analyzed, detailing their immediate and later implications for Chinese history.In this excellent new book, James Waterson tackles this fascinating subject with characteristic verve and skill. Setting the Mongol war in the wider context of China's ancient and almost perpetual conflict with the northern nomads, it sheds light on the evolution of China's military society and the management, command and control of the army by the Chinese state.

- e***l (37)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Dernier moisAchat vérifiéI am revising this feedback as the seller explained that EBay doesn’t have a FAIR rating for books. The seller did accurately describe the book but I was comparing the ratings to those purchased on other sites. The seller prepared and delivered the product in a timely manner according to EBay’s policies. The seller should not be penalized by me.
- e***d (8)- Évaluation laissée par l'acheteur.Six derniers moisAchat vérifiéI was extremely pleased with my book from Texas Book Consignments. It looks brand new, although not advertised as new. Extra care was taken in packaging so that it would not get damaged by placing a piece of cardboard inside package for support. I have never seen that before with other sellers. It arrived in a timely manner. Overall, very, very pleased with this company.
