Few elements of military historyi capture the imagination mre than that of the samurai period. Colourful and dramatic uniform, unique combat skill s and battlefield strtegies, loyalities nd ruthlessness unmatched in the Western world, charismatic warlords and lone warriors of distinction, codes of chivalry and dominant ideals-ingredients whch bred a very special tradition.

Dr. Stephen Turnbull has been at forefront of explaining the intricacies of the samurai world to the inquisitive, but previously ignorant, Western reader. It has been his books, each internaitonally successful, which have fuelled the ever gratre quest for understanding and appreciation of this diverse subject.

In Samurai Warfare he examines the reality of the battlefield tactics, personalities and practices. dispelling some of the myths surrounding the subject, we are shown that their broad strategies were unspectacular; we read of cavalry men and archers, of castles and sieges, of naval blockades and bombardments, of the routines of warfare which would be seen in the study of any medieval conflicts. The final part of the book feaures a selectoin of case studies for the eentury from 1560 which will take the reader into the action and advance even the most estabished knowledge of samurai warfare.

The illustrative content of the book features colour artwork by Richard Hook-specially commissioned for the project and a host of other unpublised material.
