Assassination - in Japanese, ansatsu or "dark murder" - was
instrumental in the samurai-led revolution known as the Meiji
Restoration, by which the shogun's military government was
overthrown and the Imperial monarchy restored in 1868. The ideology
and moral philosophy of the men behind the revolution - including
bushido or "the way of the warrior" - informed their actions and
would become the foundation of the emperor-worship of World War II.
This first-ever account in English of the assassins who drove the
revolution details one of the most volatile periods in Japanese
history - also known as "the dawn of modern Japan.
