Samurai Warfare - Hardcover

Inhaltsangabe

Dr Stephen Turnbull has been at the forefront of explaining the intricacies of the Samurai world to the inquisitive, but previously ignorant, Western reader.
In Samurai Warfare he examines the reality of the battlefield tactics, personalities and practices. Dispelling some of the myths surrounding the subject, we are shown that their broad strategies were unspectacular; we read of cavalrymen and archers, of castles and sieges, of naval blockades and bombardments, of the routines of warfare which would be seen in the study of any medieval conflicts. The final part of the book features a selection of case studies for the century from 1560 which will take the reader into the action and advance even the most established knowledge of Samurai warfare.
