What is Book Review: A. Azfar Moin, The Millennial Sovereign: Sacred Kingship and Sainthood in Islam about?
a collapse is a fairly straightforward challenge. To explain how a system such as the Ming survived for close to three centuries is not so easy' (p. 61). Although readers with more time available or a stronger interest in the Ming would find The Troubled Empire: China in the Yuan and Ming Dynasties (Cambridge, MA: Harvard University Press, 2010) by Timothy Brook a more detailed volume, Dardess's focus on the reasons behind the endurance and resilience of the Ming, rather than its flaws and faults, is both refreshing and essential. All who are interested in the secrets of the endurance and longevity of the Chinese empire in general may turn to Yuri Pine's The Everlasting Empire: The Political Culture of Ancient China and Its Imperial Legacy (Princeton: Princeton University Press, 2012). Enlightening and thought-provoking as it is, this new book by Dardess will definitely inspire more future studies on the topic. Thus, it is not only recommended for experts and students in the history of China, but also for readers generally interested in late medieval history and early modern history will ultimately find much of value in Ming China, 1368-1644: A Concise History of a Resilient Empire
