Product Description

Product Description

In 1614, Osaka Castle was Japan's greatest fortification, measuring approximately 2 miles in length with double circuits of walls, 100 feet high. It was guarded by 100,000 samurai, loyal to their master: the head of the Toyotomi clan, Toyotomi Hideyori. The castle was seemingly impenetrable, however the ruling shogun of the age, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was determined to destroy this one last threat to his position as Japan's ultimate ruler. This book explores the complex background of this bitter struggle, as well as the battle experiences of the opposing forces, in a compelling exploration of the conflict that led to the eventual triumph of one dynasty over another.

5.0 out of 5 stars Another great title by Stephen Turnbull, 15 Jul 2007
By Maciej K. "Darth Maciek" (Belgium) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)   
I am a constant reader of Stephen Turnbull books and I simply love his work. The world of samurai and their warfare is quite cryptic and the careful explanation of its details is the only way to allow its full understanding. This Osprey Campaign title is another succesful example of Stephen Turnbull approach. It is very well and clearly written, with all the decisions explained and linked to the previous events. The maps are good and the colour plates are excellent. This is a great story about a great battle and a great tragedy - I warmly recommend it.
