In this book, Stephen Turnbull offers a masterly exposition of the wars, explaining what led to Japan's disintegration into rival domains after more than a century of relative peace; the years of fighting that followed; and the period of gradual fusion when the \u003ci\u003edaimyo\u003c\/i\u003e (great names) strove to reunite Japan under a new Shogun. Peace returned to Japan with the end of the Osaka War in 1615. Turnbull draws on his latest research to include new material for this updated edition, covering samurai acting as mercenaries, the expeditions to Korea, Taiwan and Okinawa, and the little-known campaigns against the Ainu of Hokkaido, to present a richer picture of an age when conflicts were spread far more widely than was hitherto realised. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eWith specially commissioned maps and all-new images throughout, this updated and revised edition provides a concise overview of Japan's turbulent Age of Warring States.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Stephen Turnbull\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1472851188\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781472851185\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Osprey Publishing (UK)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/12\/2022\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 144\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.69lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 8.32h x 6.05w x 0.34d","brand":"Stephen Turnbull","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":43994601947391,"sku":"9781472851185","price":20.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_2f1e0d73-61e2-452e-b7fb-517c07b1df5f.jpg?v=1683331123","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/war-in-japan-stephen-turnbull-9781472851185","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
