520    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. [Elib]
