Product Description
Review
"...an impressive bosy of work based on a sound use of primary sources and sophisticated analysis." Brij Tankha, The Medieval History Journal
Product Description
Japan was ruled by warriors for the better part of a millennium. From the twelfth to the nineteenth century its political history was dominated by the struggle of competing leagues of fighting men. This volume, comprised of chapters taken from Volumes 3 and 4 of The Cambridge History of Japan, traces the institutional development of warrior rule and dominance. Although samurai influence waned with the development of constitutional government, warrior values remained central to the ethical code of modern Japan.

LeFauxBourdon,
This review is from: Warrior Rule in Japan (Paperback)
I bought this book for a university course and I'm quite happy with the purchase. I didn't have time to read it all during that time, but I plan do to it later, just for the overall quality of the information and quality of the book. The part on the Sengoku and Azuchi-Momoyama are my personal favorites ! It also contains a lot of information on Edo-jidai. Would recommend to any fan of Japanese history !

Excellent book on medieval Japan,

This review is from: Warrior Rule in Japan (Paperback)
This book is a must buy for those who are interested in medieval Japan, but can not afford the Cambridge History of Japan. This book consists of a articles written by such luminaries as Jeffrey Mass and John Whitney Hall. Taken together, their articles trace the political history of Japan from the Genpei War to the formation of the Bakuhan system under the Tokugawa. Essentially, it traces the political eveolution of medieval Japan.

Wow what a price!,

This review is from: Warrior Rule in Japan (Hardcover)
Don't be shocked of the thickness of the book. I still have my (paperback) copy from '95,and flipped when I saw the price on Amazon.Com. Exellent book,and very deep and thorough information on (Sengoku Jidai era) 16th century Japanese history. This book is for the serious history student,and I mean money no object. Book talks about the military government of Kamakura, Muromachi, and Edo Bakufu's.
