Description:This groundbreaking book provides the first comprehensive analysis of Ming China's pursuit of national security along its 1,700 miles of northern frontier.

Despite common perceptions of the central role of the so-called Great Wall of China, Dardess convincingly shows that the wall was but a minor piece in a much bigger effort to battle Tatar looting. Dardess immerses readers in the day-to-day world of the Ming as he explores the question of how leaders kept their country safe over the 276 years the dynasty ruled.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
