Levy, offers an in-depth exploration of one of the most pivotal figures in Chinese history. An Lu-shan, the Sogdian-Turk general whose rebellion in 755 AD destabilized the Tang Dynasty, is the subject of this meticulously researched biography, drawn from primary sources such as the Chiu Tang-shu (Old History of the Tang Dynasty) and Hsin Tang-shu (New History of the Tang Dynasty). These sources, along with other historical accounts like the Tzu-chih tung-chien and various poems and prose from the Tang era, form the backbone of this translation, providing rich insight into the life and times of An Lu-shan. Levys work not only translates key passages but also provides detailed annotations that help modern readers understand the complex historical and social contexts surrounding An Lu-shans rise to power and subsequent rebellion. By comparing different versions of Ans biography across sources, Levy brings to light discrepancies in the historical record, revealing how the interpretation of An Lu-shans actions has evolved over time. His careful analysis of the two major Tang dynastic histories and their treatment of An Lu-shans military campaigns offers readers a clearer picture of the rebellion and its lasting impact on Chinese history. For scholars and general readers alike, Biography of An Lu-shan is an invaluable resource that deepens our understanding of the Tang Dynastys collapse and the intricate interplay of political, cultural, and military forces in one of Chinas most tumultuous periods.</p><p>This title was originally published in 1960.<br />Biography of An Lu-shan, translated and annotated by Howard S.
