Description

The Life and Times of Tokugawa Ieyasu: Japan's Greatest Ruler Discover the remarkable story of Tokugawa Ieyasu, the man who unified medieval Japan and established a lasting dynasty that shaped the nation's history. This book tells the fascinating tale of Ieyasu's life, from his rise to power to his creation of a new government centering on the magnificent castle at Edo, which would become the heart of Japan's prosperity for centuries to come. Ieyasu's life was marked by dramatic episodes, including his crushing victory at the Battle of Sekigahara and his attempts to control the spread of Christianity in Japan. He successfully subdued Japan's warring clans and unified the nation, founding a dynasty that would rule Japan peacefully for 15 generations. This new edition of Shogun features 32 pages of color images highlighting the drama and pageantry of Ieyasu's life, as well as a new foreword by leading Japanese historian Alexander Bennett.
