Hulbert is a historical account written in the early 20th century. This volume delves into the complexities and events surrounding Korea's struggles during the Japanese invasions, focusing particularly on the military engagements and political dynamics between Korea, Japan, and China. The narrative provides a rich tapestry of historical figures, key battles, and the region's socio-political interactions. The opening portion of the book sets the stage for the tumultuous events following the initial Japanese invasion, highlighting military maneuvers and the response from both Chinese and Korean forces. Admiral Yi Sun-sin reemerges as a pivotal figure, with his strategic acumen challenged by the politics of both Korean and Chinese factions. Early chapters discuss the Chinese army's response to the invasion, detailing battles around P’yŭng-yang, including intrigues, victories, and eventual retreats, all illustrating the blend of martial valor and political machinations that define this critical period in Korean history. The reader is introduced to the intense struggles for national sovereignty and identity amid external threats, making this history not just a record of events but also a poignant reflection on resilience and sacrifice.
