Samurai: An Illustrated History

This book of Japanese history traces the story of a unique historical phenomenon: a period of 700 year equivalent to the entire stretch of Western history between the reigns of the Crusader king Richard the Lionhearted and of Queen Victoria at the height of the British Empire during which an enclosed civilization was dominated by a single warrior caste. Brings the violent, tumultuous, and elegant world of the medieval Japanese samurai to life.
