Admiral Yi Sun-Shin and His Turtleboat Armada

Admiral Yi Sun-Shin and His Turtleboat Armada

 

A detailed historical study of the Japanese invasion of Korea during 1592-1598, including the rise and fall of the instigator of the attack, Toyotmi Hideyoshi, the extraordinary warlod of Japan. The author traces the varied career of Admiral Yi against the backdrop of both national and regional history. Only the steadfast courage and tactical skill of Adm. Yi stood between the Japanese and their dream of invading the Asian continent. Focursing on Japan's weak link, the supply route by sea streaching from Japan to her expeditionary forces in Korea, the admiral struck again and again, sending the Japanese fleet into confusion and destruction. The Korean fleet had the advantage of the world's first ironclad warships, the "turtleboats" which Adam. Yi had developed and perfected from older designs.
