'With Korea and the Fall of the Mongol Empire, Robinson achieves something few can do—write an interesting, engaging, and illuminating study of the Koryŏ-Mongol relationship. The writer is one of a few scholars in any language working on broader issues of empire in premodern Northeast Asia through a transnational lens. His work is a major scholarly achievement.' George Kallander, Syracuse University 'The late 14th century in East Asia was a chaotic time. Korea and the Fall of the Mongol Empire brings this period into sharp focus better than any other work in English. By focusing on Korea's King Kongmin, Robinson adroitly weaves the upheavals of the age that witnessed the rise of the Ming, the collapse of the Yuan, and the changes in Korea. King Kongmin is controversial but through Robinson's skillful use of Chinese, Yuan, and Korean sources, both primary and secondary, this work emerges foundational in exploring this age.' Edward Shultz, University of Hawaii
