First sentence: These books are concerned with the machinery of siegecraft as used by Chinese, Korean, Mongol and Japanese armies between about 612; when the Sui dynasty invaded korea, and 1644, when Beijing fell to the Manchus, although the title could easily have been 'Ancient and Medieval Chinese Siege Weapons' with a time span ranging back a far as 500 BC.
