Beschreibung

Two samurai armies face each other across a rain-soaked field. On one side, the first massed volley of matchlock muskets ever deployed in Japanese warfare-a tactical revolution that will shatter centuries of chivalric tradition. On the other, a betrayal so complete it rewrites the nation's destiny. From the blood-soaked palisades of Nagashino to the final treachery at Sekigahara, this is the story of how gunpowder and backstabbing ended the Age of Warring States and forged a unified Japan. This edition contains original tactical diagrams and campaign maps that show phase by phase how each battle unfolded, along with detailed order-of-battle tables and vivid anecdotes drawn directly from primary sources-the chronicles of Ota Gyuichi, the letters of Tokugawa Ieyasu, and the reports of Jesuit missionaries who witnessed the carnage firsthand. For readers of narrative military history who demand concrete detail, tactical clarity, and a story driven by the decisions of men who changed the world with iron and fire.
