A Military History of China - From the first recorded battle to the twenty-first century
I really tried hard to like this book, but it's just dull. It has no illustrations other than maps and is just really a list of names and dates with no real atmosphere to it. I think the author bite off more than he could chew with the sheer time span he's tried to cover and so the details that make a period come to life have been skipped over. I kept stopping and restarting it hoping I might come to like it, but alas it was not to be.
In summary, both too much and too little covers this book.
