However, this impression can be misleading, as much of what passed for mercantile activity was in fact conducted by Japanese pirate fleets, who pillaged the coasts of Korea and China in a long-lasting tradition that culminated in the greatest pirate raid of all: Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea in 1592. This was the conflict that involved Ming China and almost dragged in Siam. It also led to Korea developing East Asia's most famous warship: the legendary turtle ship, which is described for the first time in full technical detail in this book.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Turnbull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1841764787\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781841764788\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 01\/25\/2003\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 48\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.36lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.18w x 0.19d","brand":"Stephen Turnbull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43938908242175,"sku":"9781841764788","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/products\/img_000bcd4c-abf1-404f-9595-9e2a9a9da879.jpg?v=1681438383","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/fighting-ships-of-the-far-stephen-turnbull-9781841764788","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
