The commanders and warriors of the samurai were the military elite of early Japan. This volume examines the lives, equipment, battles and expanded role of samurai commanders and warriors between 940 and 1638, the period from the emergence of the samurai to the triumph of Oda Nobunaga, who set Japan on the path to reunification. Particularly talented and well-known commanders such as Oda Nobunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi - great men who stood out from the rest because of their elaborate armour and helmets and their breathtaking personalities - are described in detail with the aid of numerous pictures, some of which are in colour.
