An empire that had crushed kingdoms from China to Europe finally reached an enemy beyond the sea. In 1274 and 1281, Kublai Khan launched two colossal invasions of Japan, unleashing brutal battles, desperate samurai resistance, gunpowder weapons, shattered fleets, and the legendary storms remembered as the kamikaze. This is the epic true story of the moment the Mongol war machine met the limits of conquest.
