Reviews
Experts on early modern Japanese history will welcome this book, while more casual readers may find it a bit dense
for their passing entertainment. Nobunaga is very probably the least well known of the three giant figures (with
Hideyoshi and Tokugawa) of later-16th-century Japan who set in motion the events that produced a unified country
under the Tokugawa family's leadership after 1600. Helpful scholarly aids and refinements fill the volume. The translation is clear, the footnotes are substantive, and the supporting text analyses are often fascinating. Summing Up: Highly recommended. Graduate students and scholars. -- R. B. Lyman Jr., emeritus, Simmons College, Choice January 2012
