The Japanese invasion of Korea in 1592, known as the Imjin War, was one of the most tragic and traumatic experiences in Korean history. Looking back upon this tragedy from start to finish, Yu Songnyong, who served as chief state councilor during most of the crisis, vividly portrays all the major developments of the crisis, as well as the men who were involved in it. The purpose of writing Chingbirok (The Book of Collections), as the author professes in his preface, was to prevent similar disasters from taking place in the future. His book, however, is much more revealing; it provides a lively perspective of the relationship of the three neighboring countries in the war--Korea, Japan, and China
