For 700 years, Japan was ruled by military commanders who waged war against one another incessantly.
Shogun

The dramatic episodes retold in this book include:
Ieyasu's crushing victory at the Battle of Sekigahara, the largest battle ever fought in Japan
His creation of a new form of government with a centralized system of control that allowed his descendants to rule Japan peacefully for the next 15 generations
Ieyasu's fateful decision to limit the spread of Christianity in Japan, ultimately banning the religion and massacring tens of thousands of ardent believers
In the critically acclaimed FX/Hulu series "Shogun" audiences witness producer Hiroyuki Sanada star as military leader "Lord Yoshi Toranaga" — based on the real life of Tokugawa Ieyasu. This new edition highlights the drama and pageantry of Ieyasu's life and features a new foreword by leading Japanese military historian Alexander Bennett.
