A detailed study of the early campaigns of one of Japan's great commanders.
Stephen Turnbull is recognized as one of the world's
foremost military historians of the medieval and early modern
periods. He first rose to prominence as a result of his 1977 book,
The Samurai: A Military History. Since then he has achieved an
equal fame in writing about European military subjects and has had
70 books published. He has always tried to concentrate on the less
familiar areas of military history, in particular such topics as
Korea, Eastern Europe, the Baltic states, and the Teutonic
Knights.
Giuseppe Rava was born in Faenza in 1963, and took an
interest in all things military from an early age. Entirely
self-taught, Giuseppe has established himself as a leading military
history artist, and is inspired by the works of the great military
artists, such as Detaille, Meissonier, Rochling, Lady Butler,
Ottenfeld and Angus McBride. He lives and works in Italy. For more

"Ieyasu's military career and achievements are documented along with a healthy dose of Japanese history, with color maps and photos throughout. The result is a powerful survey highly recommended for any Japanese history or military history holding." --James A. Cox, The Bookwatch (September 2012)
