I saw this book listed on Amazon & On Military Matters. I'm not sure if its released yet, but looks promising. Has anyone seen it or seen books from the same series? I am curious what armies are covered. Thanks! |

"I saw this book listed on Amazon & On Military Matters". What book are you referring to? |

Um…the title of the book is "Fighting techniques of the oriental world"…as in the title of the posting. |

Ah, right…..It does seem intriguing. The only aspect the make me worry is what part of Asia are they referring to and I noticed there is a huge time frame. The cover of the book indicates Central Asia. |

So far as geographical coverage goes, the review in Wargames Illustrated, by R Neil Smith, said "… the focus is very much on China and Japan with little consideration given to other oriental powers such as Burma or Korea"; while, in Battlegames, Mike Siggins wrote "… it does have an emphasis on Mongol armies (I would have liked to have seen more on the Koreans and smaller states) …" Chronologically, the subtitle of the book is "AD 1200 – 1860". |
