Description
The Samurai Invasion of Korea 1592-98 by Stephen Turnbull is a detailed account of Japan's invasion of Korea during the late 16th century. In 1592, Toyotomi Hideyoshi launched a massive invasion force against Korea, which was initially successful in capturing key cities and driving the Korean army into China. However, the war took a turn when the Korean navy scored a significant victory at Hansando, disrupting the flow of supplies to the Japanese forces. The Chinese also invaded, capturing Pyongyang from the Japanese and forcing them to retreat southwards. Despite another invasion in 1597, the Japanese advance was halted, and with Hideyoshi's death in November 1598, the enthusiasm for the military adventure dissipated. This book provides a comprehensive look at this unique event in Japanese history, shedding light on the strategic decisions and military tactics employed by both sides.
