A short and easily read history of the attack by Khubilai is Khan on Japan. Two invasion fleets were beaten off with the help of strong winds (Typhoon) giving rise to the legend that Typhoons protect Japan. The history covers not just the invasion, but also the factors that led to rise of Khubilai Khan, the situation in Japan and the archaeology of today. Very interesting read
