In ancient China, the relationship between monarch and ministers was at the center of the governance system, and edicts and memorials were concentrated reflections of the quality of governance. The study of this book shows people the vivid appearance and unique status of the imperial edicts and memorials of the Han Dynasty: they are broad and profound in content, rich in form, and powerful and elegant in writing. This was an era when Chinese imperial edicts and memorials became mature and finalized, establishing valuable experiences and lessons for future generations of exchanges and interactions between monarchs and ministers. First of all, the imperial edicts and memorials of the Han Dynasty may become a model for contemporary China on how to assess the situation and absorb advanced foreign culture and traditional excellent culture. The Han Dynasty absorbed the Qin Dynasty's governance method of supremacy of law and exclusive respect for magic. In the early days, it tried out the "Huang-Lao's rule" of recuperating, being modest and conservative, which led to the prosperity of Wenjing's rule. However, Dong Zhongshu saw the hidden truths in it. In the face of a cultural crisis that was inconsistent with the high degree of centralization, Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty adopted his suggestion of "deposing hundreds of schools of thought and respecting Confucianism alone", creating a cultural pattern and governance method that "advocated the law and respected Confucianism" in Chinese history and stabilized it for 2,000 years. Secondly, the imperial edicts and memorials of the Han Dynasty can provide inspiration for China's complementary strategies of "war" and "peace" in contemporary border troubles. The imperial edicts and memorials of the Han Dynasty listed in this book clearly show the two strategies of the Han Dynasty in dealing with the Huns and the South Vietnamese border troubles. Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty had the most imperial edicts. Many of the imperial edicts were righteous and strict, and expressed the subtle meaning of resisting the invasion, such as the "Edict to Attack the Xiongnu": "I have decorated my children to match the Chanyu, and I have given them rich coins, silk, brocade, and rich bribes. The Chanyu is on standby, and he invades and robs without end. The borders are frightened, and I am very interested in them. Now I want to raise my troops to attack them." "Yi Feng Wei Qing" edict: "The Huns defy the laws of nature, mess with human relations, violently abuse their elders, and use theft as a crime To do this, he deceived the barbarians and created conspirators to cause harm to the frontiers. Therefore, he mobilized troops and sent generals to attack the enemy. "In addition to conquests and attacks, there were also many imperial edicts and memorials involving peaceful methods such as peace, courtesy, and defense. For example, Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty's "Edict to Treat Shan Yu with Courtesy": "I heard that the five emperors and three kings did not apply their teachings, and they are not good enough for government. Today, the Xiongnu Chanyu is called Beifang, and he is going to Zhengshuo. If I don't catch him, his virtue cannot be spread. He treats them with courtesy, and makes the Chanyu sit on the throne of the princes and kings. He praises and calls his ministers without being named." There are more memorials in this regard by princes, kings and ministers, such as Huainan King Liu An's "A Letter to Admonish the Attack on South Vietnam", Han Anguo's "Xiongnu Reconciliation", Dong Zhongshu's "On the Control of the Huns", Zhu Fuyan's "A Letter to Admonish the Attack on the Huns", etc. These may serve as references for contemporary China in dealing with its peripheral relations.

This book first starts with the use of bronze weapons and armor in Mesopotamia around 3500 BC, and then talks about the changes in weapons in 1800 BC and the emergence of professional armies in 1000 BC. Then it is divided into ten chapters and focuses on describing the industrial progress, weapons manufacturing, government management, and social order evolution of the world's major countries in the East and West after 1000 AD, the improvement of European war business and war skills, the pressure brought by violent bureaucratization, the impact of the French political revolution and the British Industrial Revolution on the military, and a brief introduction to the world wars of the 20th century, especially the U. S.-Soviet arms race and planned economy since 1945. The core argument of this book is that the worldwide commercial transformation that began in the 11th century resulted in military operations becoming increasingly subject to the dictates of market forces and the dictates of rulers. McNeil believes that it is only in our era that planned economies began to replace the manipulation of large-scale human activities by market forces. This book directly confronts the major issues facing the world since 1000 AD. The discoveries, hypotheses and extensive knowledge contained in it are enough to make readers re-examine our era and provide us with solid evidence for wiser decisions in the future.
