The fifteenth year of Wanli

The fifteenth year of Wanli, or 1587, was the year before the entire Spanish Armada set sail to conquer England in Western European history. In China, during this uneventful year, several events occurred that historians easily overlook. Although these events may seem minor at first glance, they were in fact the culmination of previous major events and the impetus for future upheavals. In the eyes of historian Ray Huang, the causal relationships between these events are precisely what constitutes the focus of history, and our journey through "macro-history" begins here...
This book is the latest Chinese edition of Ray Huang's masterpiece, "1587, A Year of No Significance." It features a unified textual revision, includes several additional articles by Ray Huang such as "The Liaodong Campaign of 1619," and contains over 40 carefully selected black and white and color historical images, as well as photographs and manuscripts of Ray Huang. The text and images complement each other perfectly. Bound in hardcover, this is the most comprehensive and richly detailed edition to date. A special bonus, "The Journey of a Classic," is included with the classic edition, revealing the legendary story behind the Chinese version of this book.
