“Impaled on quill and sword”
My latest article on the on the Mongol invasions of Korea in the 13th Century—all nine of them—is included in the Autumn 2023 issue of Military History Quarterly (MHQ). An amazing story of irresistible military force meeting an immovable object, the Mongol campaigns in Korea lasted far longer than anyone—including the Khans—expected and led to absolutely brutal tactics, even by Mongol standards of the time.
Most online and brick & mortar bookstores carry MHQ. You can view it through HistoryNet.com for a monthly or annual subscription fee or you can order a paper copy of the magazine through Zinio using the buttons below.
