Paperback. Condition: New. A detailed look at Admiral Yi's four 1592 sorties that defeated the Japanese navy and established him as a national hero.In 1592, Korean Admiral Yi Sun-sin planned a series of attacks against the Japanese navy. His first two campaigns saw him destroy several isolated Japanese squadrons engaged in coastal raiding activities. Once informed of these attacks, Toyotomi Hideyoshi ordered his daimyos to assemble their ships in a dedicated task force to meet Yi in battle. In his third campaign, Yi was able to successfully lure out a Japanese fleet and destroy it in August at the Battle of Hansando. Yi and his ships then sunk fleets at Angolpo. To capitalize on this victory, the Koreans then bombarded the Japanese fleet at Busan in September.With period images, colourful artwork and detailed maps, this book delves into Admiral Yi's tactics, which were decisive to stopping the momentum of the Japanese advance into Korea. These naval engagements destabilized the Japanese grip on the southern coast and ended hopes of sustaining their armies by sea. Historian Yuhan Kim brings to life the actions of one of the greatest naval commanders in the world and explores why Admiral Yi was so successful. Tan, Darren (illustrator).…

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. Napoleon once famously remarked "If I had had two Marshals like Suchet I should not only have conquered Spain, but have kept it." Louis-Gabriel Suchet was one of the few French commanders to leave the Peninsular War with his reputation enhanced, and the only one to win his marshal's baton in that war. When Suchet was first appointed to take command of French forces in Aragon in 1809 as a general de division, the French were on the verge of losing control over that province. Through a string of brilliant battlefield victories and sieges against Spanish regular forces as well as an initially successful counter-guerrilla campaign, Suchet managed to not only secure French control of Aragon, but moved on to conquer Lower Catalonia and Valencia as well. Like all French commanders in the Peninsular War, Suchet was faced with the challenges of Spanish popular resistance, but stood out above his colleagues for his notable success in pacifying Aragon. yet despite initial triumphs in 1809-1810 against the 'traditional guerrilla', Suchet's counter-guerrilla policies were less successful than is often popularly perceived. As the war went on, French resources became thinly stretched, while conversely, the guerrilla war was increasingly spearheaded by Spanish regular forces to great efficiency, which contributed to the eventual collapse of French control in Eastern Spain. To Conquer and to Keep is the first English-language book to focus on the operations of Louis-Gabriel Suchet and his army in Eastern Spain in its detailed entirety. Despite being universally accepted as among the best of Napoleon's marshals, the pivotal role Suchet played in the Peninsular War has largely been overlooked thus far. Through analysing a variety of sources from both French and allied perspectives, ranging from modern viewpoints to those who saw the war themselves, Yuhan Kim examines both Suchet's successes and failures in his sieges, battles, counter-guerrilla operations, and administration. Each of Suchet's major actions, as well as those fought independently by his subordinates, is explained in extensive detail with maps and orders of battle. Special coverage is given to the pivotal, but hitherto misunderstood, Battle of Sagunto and the campaign leading up to it, which is analysed to incorporate new Spanish research that reconstructs the historical narrative of Suchet's climactic battle against Joaquin Blake. AUTHOR: Yuhan Kim is currently an undergraduate student at Yale University. He resides in Hudson, Ohio. 16 b/w illustrations, 11 colour illustrations, 11 colour maps This book details the campaigns of Louis-Gabriel Suchet in the Peninsular War. The only one of Napoleon's marshals to earn his baton in Spain, Suchet conquered Aragon, Lower Catalonia, and Valencia in a string of brilliant sieges and battles against both Spanish regular and guerrilla forces.

Each of Suchet's major actions, as well as those fought independently by his subordinates, is explained in extensive detail with maps and orders of battle. This second volume takes a detailed look at the pivotal, but hitherto misunderstood, Battle of Sagunto and the campaign leading up to it, which is analysed to incorporate new Spanish research that reconstructs the historical narrative of Suchet's climactic battle against Joaquin Blake. Victory at Sagunto was followed by the fall of Valencia, and then a lengthy struggle, lasting to the end of the war, to hold on to what had been conquered in the face of resurgent Spanish forces and a British expeditionary force. 14 b/w illustrations, 18 colour illustrations, 16 colour maps, 4 tables Suchet and the War for Eastern Spain, 1809-1814, Volume 2 1811-1814 Shipping may be from multiple locations in the US or from the UK, depending on stock availability.…
