Review:
"This is history at its best - the world's greatest naval disaster brought to vivid life by a rare combination of personal experience and rigorous scholarship." (John Man)
"Terrific ... a fascinating adventure tale packed with insights into a maritime empire about which most Westerners know almost nothing." (Nathaniel Philbrick)
"Through brilliant and painstaking research Delgado has brought Khubilai Khan's lost fleet to the surface, showing for the first time the true nature of the doomed adventure." (Stephen Turnbull)
"One finishes the book ready to strap on mask and tanks to dive for the buried remains of the shops that still hold more Mongol secrets" (Rev’d Carol Gluck TLS)
"James Delgado does a splendid job as a cultural historian in showing how the legend of a brave but doomed defence, supported by the intervention of the gods, shaped national identity over seven centuries." (Adrian Brewer Tablet)
