The Diary of 1636 - Na Man'gap - Bog - Columbia University Press - Plusbog.dk
After a Choson faction realigned Korea with the Ming dynasty, the Manchu attacked in 1627 and again a decade later, forcing Korea to support the newly founded Qing dynasty. The Korean scholar-official Na Man’gap (1592–1642) recorded the second Manchu invasion in the only first-person account chronicling the dramatic Korean resistance.
