Chinese Warfare I


Some years back, I explored Chinese warfare. Given a history and civilisation of about five thousand years, Chinese military history is nothing to scoff at. In reality, there is much about warfare in Chinese history that remains unknown and unstudied in the West. A lot of material is still not translated at this point.

Here are three studies of the more modern period in China's history:

'A Military History of Modern China: From the Manchu Conquest to Tia'nanmen Square' by Peter Worthing.


'The Chinese Army Today: Tradition and Transformation for the 21st Century' by Dennis J. Blasko.



'Modern Chinese Warfare 1795-1989' by Bruce A. Elleman.
