N2  - mperial Harvest is a timely book that speaks to the universal lessons of war. It addresses pertinent themes of dispossession by tracing imperialist tactics all the way back to the rise of the Khan empire in the 13th century. Yen Se has lost everything to the Khan's brutality. Left with one eye and one arm, he is forced out of his home village to work in the city as a horse handler. Witness to the Khan's violent crusade, their raids sweeping actress Eurasia, he travels with the theatre of war but exists outside of it; stunned every morning to find himself alive. Joined by a loose band of survivors, Yen Se journeys through Europe alongside men who think of survival, men who think of resistance, and women who dare to dream of peace. Whilst narrated by a male, women are at the forefront of this story; often the most active of the characters, both for their plight and for their guidance. Imperial Harvest tells the story of war, but more importantly, of hope
