In his overview of this war Turnbull emphasizes a number of points such as the Japanese misconceptions of the scale of the task they had undertaken, the basic savagery of the campaign and the importance of Korean naval power in terms of choking off Japanese initiative; thus buying time for Ming China to intervene on behalf of their tributary. Turnbull then goes on consider that this was a war that everyone lost, since the Japanese loss opened the way to the rise of the Tokugawa and the Chinese & Korean "winners" were weakened sufficiently to allow for the rise of the Manchurian Qing Dynasty.

Stephen Turnbull, a renowned expert on the history of Japan, examines the samurai invasion of Korea, the first step in an ambitious Japanese plan to conquer China. Examining the various stages of the war, from the pitched battles of the early war years, to the great naval encounters, the dramatic sieges and the bitter trench warfare that characterized the end of the war, Turnbull provides a concise analysis of the conflict. Highly illustrated with contemporary photographs, full colour battlescene artwork, detailed maps and bird's-eye views, this is a concise history of a unique and exciting campaign, which not only involved huge numbers of men, differing terrain and tactics but was also the only time that the legendary samurai were pitched against a foreign nation.
