Korea and the Fall of the Mongol Empire - Alliance, Upheaval, and the Rise of a New East Asian Order

David Robinson explores the collapse of the Mongol empire and the rise of its successors across Eurasia through the experiences of King Gongmin of Goryeo. Charting the way this East Asian ruler navigated the upheavals of the mid-fourteenth century, Robinson offers a fresh perspective on a transformative period of history.
