Defeat at Sea: an Interpretation of Ancient Chinese Naval Battle Maps
by Liang Erping
About This Novel
This book contains more than 160 pictures of naval battles that took place along the coast of China from ancient times to modern times. Some of these pictures were drawn by Chinese and some by foreigners. They vividly record China's wars with other countries at sea from different angles: some offensive (Yuan-ri naval battle) and defensive (Qing-ying naval battle, Qing-Fa naval battle, Qing-ri naval battle). In the outcome of these naval battles, China sometimes won, but more often suffered miserable defeats. By examining these naval battle pictures and the history behind them, the author reflects on why China suffered successive defeats in naval battles. From ancient times to modern times, why was China "defeated at sea"? This book cannot give a standard answer, but it can at least provide some reference for finding out the reasons why China is lagging behind and being beaten.
