Tang China And The Collapse Of The Uighur Empire

"The extant writings of the late Tang chief minister Li Deyu form the basis for Michael Drompp's reconstruction of the Tang dynasty's response to a threatening development: the collapse of the Uighur steppe empire in 840 C.E., and the subsequent flight of large numbers of Uighur refugees to China's northern frontier." "Through a translation of seventy relevant documents the author analyzes the historical development and rhetoric of the crisis, as well as its aftermath. The writings of Li Deyu allow a unique, in-depth view of Chinese-Inner Asian relations, very unusual for such an early period." "This volume permits us a close look at the workings of late Tang government, particularly in terms of policy formation and implementation, as well as the rhetoric surrounding such activities."--BOOK JACKET.
