During this turbulent era, the traditionally low-born rural military class of 'bushi' (samurai warriors) rose to power, overthrowing their social superiors in the court and reshaping the landscape of Japan. At the center of this tumultuous age stood three remarkable individuals: Oda Nobunaga (1534-1582), Toyotomi Hideyoshi (1537-1598), and Tokugawa Ieyasu (1543-1616). Each of these figures played a unique and pivotal role in the re-unification of Japan during the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. This groundbreaking narrative history of the Sengoku era weaves together the epic tales of these three figures for the first time. It provides a comprehensive survey of the Azuchi-Momoyama Period (1568-1600), covering the reigns of both Nobunaga and Hideyoshi, as well as the foundational years of the Tokugawa shogunate (1600-1616). The book delves deep into the pivotal battles fought by each of these three hegemons, from the decisive clash at Okehazama in 1560 to the legendary Battle of Sekigahara in 1600, and the Two Sieges of Osaka Castle in 1614-15. Moreover, the book examines the political and administrative structures of their rule, shedding light on the role played by western foreigners ('nanban') and the Christian religion in early modern Japanese society. With its broad scope, the story of Japan's three unifiers – dubbed 'the Fool,' 'the Monkey,' and 'the Old Badger' – unfolds as a sweeping saga, encompassing acts of unimaginable cruelty alongside tales of great samurai heroism that continue to resonate through the peaceful Edo/Tokugawa period and beyond. Review: Great Read - Fantastic book and shipped in great condition. Researching and learning was the best part of this book. It has taken me longer to read as there are times I want to know more about something that took place and find myself lost looking into that. Great for anyone wanting to know more history of the world that helped create modern Japan. Review: An extremely helpful resource!! - I bought this book after getting hooked on the current (2023) NHK taiga drama, "Dou Suru Ieyasu", and I needed something to help me keep all the many characters and relationships straight. Within a few days of starting to read this book, I was already better able to figure out who was who on the show, and understand why they were all doing what they did. This is thanks to Danny Chaplin's dedication to painting as full and as human a portrait as possible of as many people as possible. He makes sure to include personal stories about almost everyone involved in the history of the three warlords, as well as physical descriptions where possible (such as when a particular person was known to cut a particularly dashing figure on the battlefield), and insights into what may have been going on in their minds. Chaplin makes the many characters come alive, which has really enhanced my understanding and enjoyment of the show. In addition to the human element, Chaplin present exhaustive information about the timeline, such that no important detail is left undiscussed. Again, this has really helped me to follow along with Dou Suru Ieyasu. Even at those moments when I don't catch every word of the Japanese dialogue, I can still follow along with the plot thanks to what I've read in this book. While it is true that the presentation style takes some getting used to at first, as numbers and lists of names can sometimes come in dense blocks before the "action" gets started in a chapter, I would encourage anyone who really wants to learn about this time period to push through it. If you're like me, you'll get used to the style, and possibly even figure out places where you can skim through to the information that interests you. But that is one of the best things about this book -- there is enough information for everyone. Someone who is interested in the exact income per year of a particular daimyo will find what they want here, along with someone who may be interested in something else entirely, such as what the armour of a particular warrior looked like. Additionally, I enjoy the fact that Chaplin doesn't take sides in favor of one historical figure over another. He presents each person neutrally and fairly. Nobody is presented as all good or all bad, or better than anyone else, which is nice. If I had to nitpick, I would point out a few small things. 1) One particular section describes Hideyoshi as "in his prime" at age 45, but then describes his early-40s sister as "aging". To be fair, the "aging" statement was written to contrast how she differed from some young concubines, and how a grown woman probably didn't want to be offered up as a trophy in a dynastic marriage, but the way it was phrased made me stop and think about the lopsided aging standards which society applies to women but not to men. This may not have been Chaplin's intent, but that's just how it struck me. 2) There is sometimes a lack of necessary commas, which can make it hard to parse the meaning of certain sentences on a first read. With these things aside, I would wholeheartedly recommend this as a must-have piece for the library of anyone interested in the Sengoku Jidai, and I would especially recommend it for someone who is a beginner in that area of study. I knew nothing about this period prior to reading this book and watching Dou Suru Ieyasu, and now I feel like I know very much indeed! Thanks to Danny Chaplin for putting together such a wonderful resource, which has most definitely increased my knowledge, understanding, and enjoyment of the highly complex world of the three unifiers of Japan! ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #167,663 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #46 in Japanese History (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.6 out of 5 stars 489 Reviews | ## Images ![Sengoku Jidai.

Thanks to Danny Chaplin for putting together such a wonderful resource, which has most definitely increased my knowledge, understanding, and enjoyment of the highly complex world of the three unifiers of Japan! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Excellent book, requires a lot of concentration to fully comprehend *by L***/ on March 17, 2021* I found this book to be an excellent read about these 3 unifiers. At times it's a bit hard to follow as there are so many names introduced throughout the book, and many of them have both first and last names changed through arranged marriages and such. One thing that I got used to was, the author took a subject such as a battle an took it from the seeds of the dispute through the end. Then the next subject, maybe about religion from the first landing of priests through acceptance of their being in Japan. Since the periods of the 2 subjects overlapped, some people that died in the battle might still be alive during the religious period. I think the author did the right thing, but it took a little getting used to. I wished there was more written on the battle of Sekigahara. What was written left me wanting more. I guess, I'll get another book on just that subject. There is a fair amount of gore in the book, it didn't bother me, but might bother some people. ## Frequently Bought Together - Sengoku Jidai.
