About the Author:
Jonathan Clements is a leading historian of Japan and China. He is the author of Beijing: The Biography of a City and A Brief History of the Vikings, as well as the highly acclaimed Schoolgirl Milky Crisis: Adventures in the Anime and Manga Trade. He lives in Finland and Tokyo.
Review:
Clements has a knack for writing suspenseful sure-footed conflict scenes: His recounting of the Korean invasion led by samurai and daimyo Toyotomi Hideyoshi reads like a thriller. If you're looking for a samurai primer, Clements' guide will keep you on the hook * Japan Times, reviewed as part of an Essential Reading for Japanophiles series *
