Great book. Highly recommend it.

Swope's text set out to correct what he perceives is the pro-Korean bias in Hawley's book and he does a fairly good at it, to an extent. His book focuses more on the Ming and he puts it in a more positive light than Hawley.

Dragon's Head and Serpent's Tail, is a remarkable work which illustrates the immense value of a cross-national analysis of one of the most pivotal events of the 16th century which still resonates down to the modern era.. As a student of Japanese History I have noted that Japanese centric historians (both eastern and western) tend to treat Hideyoshi's invasion of Korea as a footnote.
