'This book covers over a millennium of Korean history concisely and clearly and should be required reading for anyone interested in Korea’s early history and cultures.' - Mark E. Byington, Korea Institute, Harvard University

Korea's Three Kingdoms period is a genuine 'lost civilization', during which ancient realms vied for supremacy during the first millennium CE. Nobles from this period's feuding states adopted and adapted Buddhism and Confucianism through interactions with early medieval Chinese dynasties. In the mid-seventh century, with the assistance of the mighty Chinese Tang empire, the aristocratic Silla state ultimately unified the Three Kingdoms by conquering the militaristic northern kingdom of Koguryŏ and the culturally sophisticated state of Paekche.
