商品簡介
Building around a rather straightforward narrative of political and military events, Graff (history, Kansas State U.) attempts to close the gap that separates the Chinese and Western-language literature dealing with the interrelationship of warfare, state, and society during the six centuries between the fall of the Western Jin dynasty and the fall of the Tang dynasty. Within this basic framework, developments in military institutions, social and political structures, and the techniques of warfare are introduced. Connections between warfare, military institutions, and social change are emphasized. Distributed by Taylor & Francis. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
