Hatamoto Samurai Horse and Foot Guards: 1540-1724, Stephen Turnbull.

Hatamoto Samurai Horse and Foot Guards: 1540-1724, Stephen Turnbull.

An excellent Osprey from the leading authority of this period of warfare in Japan Stephen Turnbull. Lavishly illustrated to Osprey's high standard, it covers the samurai guards who served under the flag protecting their lord in battle and serving as officers and emissaries in peace time for nearly 200 years. A fascinating book with many examples of duty, honour and loyalty. [read full review]
