Book Description:
From the Back Cover:
The first comprehensive portrait of a dynamic Chinese emperor who laid many of the bureaucratic foundations of modern China.
"Yongle traveled with an entourage of government officials and courtiers and logistical personnel that make American presidential trips look puny--and the Emperor always took with him 10,000 cavalry soldiers and 40,000 foot soldiers. Yongle, in short, never did anything in a small way." -- Nicholas D. Kristof, (New York Times)
