Conquest and Domination in Early China

Autor Ralph D. Sawyer
en Limba Engleză Paperback
Conquest and Domination examines the strategy and actors instrumental in the Chou's (Zhou's) astonishing rise from an obscure clan of uncertain location to their surprising conquest of the mighty Shang at the decisive battle of Mu-yeh in 1045 BCE. Based upon traditional historical literature, extensive archaeological materials, and contemporary bronze inscriptions, the first section traces their early migrations and gradual acquisition of power and territory through both political and military means before analyzing the many physical, tactical, and psychological factors that contributed to their success. The second part is devoted to reprising and understanding the rebellion that arose within a few years, with the third chronicling the military activities of the nearly three centuries before the Western Chou's highly melodramatic but ignominious collapse. The final section is devoted to pondering several crucial factors and raising questions about the period's history. Particular emphasis is placed employing the insights that can be gleaned from traditional Chinese military science and understanding the importance of developments from within the subsequent historical perspective.
