Guardian Bookshop Notes:

Ghengis Khan's grandson tried to take Japan in 1274, but his entire armada was wiped out by a 'kamikaze' (divine wind). When he tried again 7 years later, the exact same thing happened.

Publisher's description:

Based on original sources as diverse as actual sunken ships, archeological excavations on land, temple inscriptions, hand-painted scrolls, woodblock prints, and historical and literary records from China, Japan and Vietnam, this work tells the tale of the Mongol's maritime forays.
