Tokugawa Ieyasu founded a dynasty of rulers, organized a system of
government and set in train the re-orientation of the religion of
Japan so that he would take the premier place in it. Calm, capable
and entirely fearless, Ieyasu deliberately brought the opposition
to a head and crushed in a decisive battle, after which he made
himself Shogun, despite not being from the Minamoto clan. He
organized the Japanese legal and educational systems and encouraged
trade with Europe (playing off the Protestant powers of Holland and
England against Catholic Spain and Portugal). This book remains one
of the few volumes on Tokugawa Ieyasu which draws on more material
from Japanese sources than quotations from the European documents
from his era and is therefore much more accurate and thorough in
its examination of the life and legacy of one of the greatest
Shoguns.
