I want books like The Flames of War in the Wanli Era. Detailed descriptions of the imperial examinations; the horrific Battle of Sarhu! Grand battle scenes brought to life; horns and drums shaking the sky, sharp whistles and arrows; sandstorms striking faces, skin torn and bones broken; bodies piled on the shores of the great harbor, blood filling the passes of the Great Wall!
