The Fleet That Burned on the Yangtze
Red Cliffs and the Battle That Split China, AD 208

In the winter of AD 208, two massive river fleets clashed on the Yangtze-and the flames from one of them decided the fate of China for centuries. The Battle of Red Cliffs was not just a defeat for the northern warlord Cao Cao; it shattered his dream of a unified empire and carved the country into three warring kingdoms.
Hand-drawn battle charts follow the campaign on the water, stage by stage: how the fire ships broke Cao Cao's chained line, how the winter monsoon and the river's currents dictated who could attack and when, and where each commander anchored his fleet. Order-of-battle tables detail the forces involved, and every anecdote is sourced by name to the ancient historians who recorded it-Chen Shou, Sima Guang, and others.
If you have ever wondered how a single night of fire could split an empire in three, this is the full story of how the battle worked, why it happened, and what it cost.
