Using dynastic histories when a battle study is hard to obtain

Cambridge histories of the Song dynasty and its successor provide context when a dedicated battle study is difficult to obtain.

Notes

A dedicated study of the intended battle was difficult to find, while broader books discussed it. The research therefore turned to Cambridge histories of the Song dynasty and its successor. Because the battle belonged to the transition between dynasties, both histories were relevant.
