"This is the first English translation of Lei Haizong's study of the Chinese army,
reappraising Chinese civilisation from a military perspective. Born out of concern
for China's military circumstances during the Second Sino-Japanese War, Lei traces
the development of military culture from the ancient world to the 1930s. Completed
during the second year of the war, Lei wrote in direct proximity to harrowing events
that were taking place in China, attempting to lay out a more hopeful path which resonated
greatly with its readership at the time. Avoiding traditional national narratives
and employing a new system of periodisation that uses neither dynastic cycles nor
western ideas, Lei's study emphasises unique features of Chinese history whilst embracing
the broader global context. Although today China risen as a global military power,
Lei's work stands as a powerful assessment of Chinese military history from the stance
of scholar writing during the Japanese occupation."
