Overview
With concise text written by a group of experts and more than 100 images, Fighting Techniques of the Oriental World describes combat in the Far East from the Mongol ascendancy through the defeat of Chinese forces in the Anglo-Chinese Opium Wars of the mid-nineteenth century. It explores the tactics and strategy required to win battles with the available technology, and shows how the development of such weapons changed warfare. The five sections examine both the foot soldier and the mounted soldier, their equipment, and how they fought as a unit; why certain types of units—such as the cavalry horse archer—proved more effective than others; how these units worked together on the battlefield, and the importance of a general correctly disposing his troops; specialist techniques and equipment for siege warfare; and naval warfare, from ships and weapons to major battles.
