Sui-Tang China and Its Turko-Mongol Neighbors: Culture, Power, and Connections, 580-800 by Jonathan Karam SkaffMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
I really enjoyed reading this book. The topic is one which really fascinates me. There is a lot of information in here regarding the relationships between the Tang dynasty (who themselves are partially Xianbei) and how the politics works in the various border areas. The information here is really something that is hard to come across. It is a good book to start bridging your knowledge to the next step up. I have a greater understanding of the border society and deep cultural differences amongst the various groups as well as the complexity of the entire geographical and political situation
