Reviews for The Samurai Invasion of Korea 1592-98
5 ratings1 review
- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In his overview of this war Turnbull emphasizes a number of points such as the Japanese misconceptions of the task they had undertaken, the basic savagery of the campaign and the importance of Korean naval power in terms of choking off Japanese initiative; thus buying time for Ming China to intervene on behalf of their tributary. Turnbull then goes on consider that this was a war that everyone lost, since the Japanese loss opened the way to the rise of the Tokugawa and the Chinese & Korean "winners" were weakened sufficiently to allow for the rise of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.
