Osprey's exploration of the complex background of the Siege of Osaka (1614-1615), as well as of the battle experiences of the opposing forces, in a compelling exploration of the conflict that led to the eventual triumph of one dynasty over another. In 1614, Osaka Castle was Japan's greatest fortification, measuring approximately 2 miles in length with double circuits of walls, 100 feet high. It was guarded by 100,000 samurai, loyal to their master: the head of the Toyotomi clan, Toyotomi Hideyori. The castle was seemingly impenetrable, however the ruling shogun of the age, Tokugawa Ieyasu, was determined to destroy this one last threat to his position as Japan's ultimate ruler.

Osaka 1614-15
This book makes a great companion or follow-up to "Shogun." Fills you in on the real story. I would call it a compelling narrative, but it might not qualify as a narrative. Still, it is a gripping historical event. There were a few oddities about this edition. Some pages look great, while other pages look like mediocre photocopies. They got even stranger when the captions on the photos on those pages said things about the importance of color, and the photos were black and white. Not going to blame the author for that. He is clearly an expert and did an excellent job making a big story digestible and understandable.
