Description: Shogun by A.L. Sadler, Jonathan Yen, Alexander Bennett, Stephen Turnbull Estimated delivery 3-12 business days Format Condition Brand New Description Uncover the true story of the man who unified medieval Japan. For 700 years, Japan was ruled by military commanders who waged war against one another incessantly. Shogun tells the fascinating story of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who finally unified and brought lasting peace to the nation. He established a new central government which enabled his descendants to rule Japan for the next 260 years--a period in which Japanese culture as we know it today flourished. The dramatic episodes retold in this book include: — Ieyasus crushing victory at the Battle of Sekigahara, the largest battle ever fought in Japan — His creation of a new form of government with a centralized system of control that allowed his descendants to rule Japan peacefully for the next fifteen generations — Ieyasus fateful decision to limit the spread of Christianity in Japan, ultimately banning the religion and massacring tens of thousands of ardent believers This new edition highlights the drama and pageantry of Ieyasus life and features a new foreword by leading Japanese military historian Alexander Bennett. Author Biography A. L. Sadler was professor of Oriental studies at the University of Sydney from 1922 to 1948. Among his published works are: The Japanese Tea Ceremony: Cha-no-yu, and translations from Japanese literature, including The Ten Foot Square Hut and Tales of the Heike. Jonathan Yen was inspired by the Golden Age of Radio, and while the gold was gone by the time he got there, hes carried that inspiration through to commercial work, voice acting, and stage productions. His "versatile baritone" and "distinct and perceptive role-playing" make for "a striking marriage of performance and storytelling." From vintage Howard Fast science fiction to naturalist Paul Rosolies true adventures in the Amazon, Jonathan loves to tell a good story. Alexander Bennett holds doctorates from the University of Canterbury and Kyoto University. His recent publications include Naginata: the Definitive Guide, Budo Perspectives, The History and Spirit of Budo, and The Bushido That Japanese Dont Know (in Japanese). Stephen Turnbull is the author of over seventy-five books of military history on Europe and the Far East, including The Samurai Swordsman: Master of War. He was the historical advisor for the motion picture 47 Ronin and is currently visiting professor of Japanese studies at Akita International University in Japan.
