By the 15th century BC the valley of Hwang Ho was dominated by a
palace-based military caste which owed its supremacy to a monopoly
of bronze-working techniques among a still mainly Stone Age
population. To the Shang Dynasty, war was a means of legitimising
the power of their new aristocracy. This fascinating volume by C.
J. Peers covers the period of China's history from the first
documented civilisation to the establishment of an enduring unified
empire, examining the history, organisation, uniform and weapons of
ancient Chinese armies.
