Maps, 457pp, paperback, large octavo. Text primarily in Chinese with two chapters in English. "Over the past millennia, China's enemies came mainly from the north. Therefore, frontier fortification was the main strategy of national defence in ancient China. From the 19th century onward, fleets of warships despatched by the Western powers caused disturbance along the seaboard. The vitalisation of coastal defence and the resistance of foreign aggression became the focus of discussion among government officials and the common people. This book has a collection of 26 papers which discuss various aspects of Modern China's maritime defence including theories and historical figures of maritime defence, district defence, historical document of maritime defence, naval construction, navy and diplomacy."
