## Description

The samurai were the military elite of medieval and early modern Japan, and the men who led them were hailed as the very greatest, most heroic and most honourable of all samurai warriors. This first of two books examines the lives, equipment, battles and wider roles of the samurai commanders between 940 and 1576, the period from the emergence of the samurai to the triumph of Oda Nobunaga, who set Japan on the road to reunification. The styles of armour and weaponry of the samurai changed considerably during this time and this book visually recreates some of the most famous samurai commanders.

## Customer Reviews

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samurai commanders
*by  on Reviewed in France 21 October 2013*

Le livre est très bien documenté et on ne trouve pas d'équivalent en français sur ce sujet , il faut bien sûr pratiquer l'anglais .

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very Good Coverage of Japanese Samurai leaders
*by  on Reviewed in the United States 9 March 2015*

Finally got down to reading this book. I had previously bought it for the magnificent drawings which are very well-done.The text is surprisingly readable, and there is a chronological introduction of the famous samurai leaders as they appear throughout Japanese history. The retelling of their exploits only serve to reinforce their names and military achievements for the lay reader. What is very helpful in this book is that there is a short commentary on the evolution and trends in warfare for each specific military period, and why the specific named leaders were highlighted for their roles.This book (Part one) covers the period of warfare from the Classical period to part of the Sengoku period. There is a follow-up book (Part two).

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Samurai Commanders 1
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 2 August 2025*
