Hans van de Ven, Ph.D. (1987) in History and East Asian Languages, Harvard University, is Lecturer in Chinese Studies at Cambridge University. He has published extensively on warfare in Chinese history.
Our understanding of Chinese warfare has suffered from misconstrued contrasts between Chinese and Western ways in warfare. This is one of the arguments convincingly set forth in this important volume on an important subject. It also discusses the essentialising interpretations of Chinese culture focussing on the avoidance of warfare and the civil ethic of its officials.
Based on original sources, and dealing with the subject from the earliest dynasty up to modernity, it uniquely combines chapters on strategy and tactics. Both scope and approach make it a must for historians of China. And, with a view to its conclusions on the place of China in the context of global military history, it also provides essential reading for historians of (comparative) warfare in general.
The book’s primary goal – to provide a fuller interpretation of the role of the military in Chinese history – has been achieved with ease.

評分細讀宋朝兩篇,順手翻閱其餘。崔瑞德、濮德培、方德萬幾人的還不錯,但是中間的參差不齊,宋朝兩篇甚至頗有拼音和中英翻譯對照上的錯誤。Brill齣版的龍蛇混雜可見一斑。
