Gaining an understanding of China's long and sometimes bloody
history can help to shed light on China's ascent to global power.
Many of China's imperial dynasties were established as the result
of battle, from the chariot warfare of ancient times to the battles
of the Guomindang (KMT) and Communist regimes of the twentieth
century. China's ability to sustain complex warfare on a very large
scale was not emulated in other parts of the world until the
Industrial Age, despite the fact that the country is only now
rising to economic dominance. In A Military History of China,
Updated Edition, David A. Graff and Robin Higham bring together
leading scholars to offer a basic introduction to the military
history of China from the first millennium B.C.E. to the present.
Focusing on recurring patterns of conflict rather than traditional
campaign narratives, this volume reaches farther back into China's
military history than similar studies. It also offers insightful
comparisons between Chinese and Western approaches to war. This
edition brings the volume up to date, including discussions of the
Chinese military's latest developments and the country's most
recent foreign conflicts.
