China, Korea & Japan At War, 1592–1598 by J. Marshall Craig
A concise narrative of the Imjin War (1592–1598), tracing Toyotomi Hideyoshi’s invasions of Korea, the Ming dynasty’s intervention on the peninsula, and the intertwined land and naval campaigns that decided the conflict. It profiles key commanders—including Konishi Yukinaga, Katō Kiyomasa, and Admiral Yi Sun-sin—highlights Korean naval innovations such as the turtle ship, and recounts pivotal actions at Hansando, Myeongnyang, and Noryang alongside sieges and counteroffensives from Busan to Pyongyang. It examines strategy, logistics, diplomacy, and factional politics, and assesses the war’s devastating human cost and lasting impact on East Asian geopolitics and military culture.
