Records show that the Chinese invented gunpowder in the 800s. By
the 1200s they had unleashed the first weapons of war upon their
unsuspecting neighbours. This extraordinarily ambitious book traces
the history of that invention and its impact on the surrounding
Asian world - Korea, Japan, South East Asia and South Asia - from
the ninth through the twentieth century. As the book makes clear,
the spread of war and its technology had devastating consequences
on the political and cultural fabric of those early societies
although each reacted very differently. The book, which is packed
with information about military strategy, interregional warfare and
the development of armaments, also engages with the major debates
and challenges traditional thinking on Europe's contribution to
military technology in Asia. Articulate and comprehensive, this
book will be a welcome addition to the undergraduate classroom and
to all those interested in Asian studies and military history.
