Internationally renowned samurai expert Dr Stephen Turnbull delves
into a pivotal era of Japanese history in this highly illustrated
account of The Gempei War a conflict that defined the age and the
ethos of the samurai. Never before had there been a large-scale
clash between two rival samurai families, the Taira and the
Minamoto, and never again would the result of a war in Japan be
quite so dramatic. Fought to gain control over the emperor it would
end with imperial power being totally eclipsed in favour of the
military might of the samurai class and the establishment of the
position of Shogun - Japan's military dictator. Turnbull examines
the events of the five-year long conflict, revealing the changes
that the war inflicted on Japanese culture and the establishment of
many of the traditions of the samurai.
