New book, CN6006, 47 pages, 20 full page colour plates, 4 pages of weapon and armour illustrations. The Mongols established the Yuan dynasty in China and tenaciously completed the conquest of other ruling dynasties in China as well as sending punitive raids into South-East Asia, reaching as far as Java. In East Asia, they invaded Korea and sent raids against Japan. They quickly learned from the people they conquered and incorporated military specialists from different nations in to their armies. This enabled them to carry out forms of warfare way beyond their original steppe horse culture, such as sea-borne invasions and siege warfare. The full range of Mongol military expertise is revealed in this book.
