There Was Nothing Inherently Pacifist About The Chinese Governments Views Of War, And Pragmatic Approacheseven Aggressive And Expansionist Projectsoften Prevailed.Though It Has Changed In Form, A Military Elite Has Existed In China From The Beginning Of Its History, And Military Service Included A Large Proportion Of The Population At Any Given Time.

This Important Contribution Bridges Two Literatures, Military And Cultural, That Seldom Appear Together In The Study Of China, And Deepens Our Understanding Of War And Society In Chinese History.
