Tang China and the collapse of the Uighur Empire : a documentary history
by Michael R. Drompp.
Leiden ; Boston : Brill, 2005.
"The extant writings of the late Tang chief minister Li Deyu form the basis for Michael Drompp's reconstruction of the Tang dynasty's response to a threatening development: the collapse of the Uighur steppe empire in 840 C.E., and the subsequent flight of large numbers of Uighur refugees to China's northern frontier." "Through a translation of seventy relevant documents the author analyzes the historical development and rhetoric of the crisis, as well as its aftermath. The writings of Li Deyu allow a unique, in-depth view of Chinese-Inner Asian relations, very unusual for such an early period." "This volume permits us a close look at the workings of late Tang government, particularly in terms of policy formation and implementation, as well as the rhetoric surrounding such activities."--BOOK JACKET.
