Sinopsis

Known from his collaboration on the Netflix documentary Age of Samurai, historian William de Lange returns to what he does best: highly anecdotal stories from one of the most exciting episodes in Japanese history: the Warring States period.De Lange takes the reader right back to the 16th century&rsquo,s closing decades. In the course of the ensuing journey we witness the major battles fought by the country',s three great unifiers: Oda Nobunaga, Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and Tokugawa Ieyasu.Quoting directly and at length from a wide range of contemporary sources, De Lange paints events and figures like no other, &lsquo,so richly rendered,&rsquo, according to one critic, &lsquo,that you&rsquo,d swear De Lange was present at the time, taking notes.&rsquo,Samurai Battles is an epic account of a dramatic period in Japanese history&mdash,a period in which the whole country was consumed by the fire of civil strife that raged hardest on the field of battle.
