Summary: Another worth while book on samurai....
Comment: This book is excellent and goes into good detail about samurai, warrior monks, warfare, armour and arms, etc. The Illustrations are great. If only other history specific books could be as informative has this.
Rating: 5
Summary: Great book
Comment: This book covers the Samurai pretty well. Unlike alot of the other books I've seen, this book covers all samurai periods from the earliest to the latest. If goes fairly in depth with armor and weapons giving accurate dates to everything. Loads of colour photos and drawings.
This should be the first book you buy on Samurai, even though it may not be you're last. Will impress non-beginers as well.
Rating: 5
Summary: Guy with too much time
Comment: This is a great book about the history of samurai and there role in shaping Japanese history. It details key eras, and battles thus it also has lots of colored pictures and diagrams of campaigns, and few battle diagrams.
Anyone who is trying to find out more about the armor of the differnt peiods should also check this book out cause it has tons of pictures of armor and names all the parts (note: it doesn't tell you how to make it though)and it explains alot about how the different families in Japan shaped the land. From the rise of the Samurai class to the Edo period and it even has a part about the Sengoku-Jidai or the age of the country at war (basically a huge 100 year long civil war)
A must have for people who prefer the samurai over the knight or if you just like the samurai.
