Summary, etc. Gunpowder and weapons based on it were developed in China probably before the year 800 and were in extensive military use by the thirteenth and fourteenth centuries considerably before the technology reached Europe. This fascinating book considers the effect of this military revolution on China and then on other Asian powers (Japan, Korea, Southeast Asia, South Asia), how the weapons were used in warfare, and why the lead in technological development subsequently moved to Europe although Asia was often not many years behind.
