Midwest Book Review

This is an excellent account of this crucial battle, from the introduction which sets up the world in which Ieyasu and his opponents operated, through the early stages of the wider war to the brutal battle itself and on to the almost as brutal aftermath. Between them Sekigahara and Osaka established the power of the Tokugawa, which would last for over two and a half centuries, so an understanding of how that came about is of great value.

History of War

"This memorable volume is a good springboard for readers to pursue and learn about the culture and history of Japan."

Roger Coleman, The Wessex Branch of the Western Front Association

Written in an anecdotal style of stories and sketches spun around a central narrative, Glenn’s informative and entertaining chronicle of the Battle of Sekigahara is a stand-out contribution to Samurai military history. This is a book that, while complete in itself as a battle narrative, prompts further reading into the world of the samurai, which often seems quite bizarre to readers more accustomed to the practical demands of warfare. The peculiar code of the samurai permeates the battle and Glenn’s account. It is fascinating reading, and for those with even a passing interest in samurai warfare, eye-opening and enlightening.
