It does not include a dust jacket. **Description:** The Battle of Red Cliffs is one of the most famous battles in Chinese history, known for a numerically inferior force defeating a much larger army. This novel delves into the intricacies of this legendary conflict: How few fought against how many? Why did the down-on-his-luck Liu Bei gain the allegiance of strategists like Zhuge Liang and warriors like Zhao Yun? Why did Sun Quan, lord of the prosperous Jiangdong, and the proud Zhou Yu agree to ally with the weaker, yet potentially rival, Liu Bei against Cao Cao? What ingenious tactics did the young Zhuge Kongming employ on the Seven Star Altar to 'borrow' the east wind? And why did the ambitious Cao Cao fall for deceptions time and again? This compelling long-form novel explores these enduring questions, bringing to life the strategic brilliance, political machinations, and human drama of one of China's most pivotal historical events.
