About this book

The samurai’s rise from retainers to a ruling military class provides the subject of Jonathan Clements’s history of Japan. He places their development within relations with China and Korea, as well as conflicts at home. The introduction emphasizes changing ideas of loyalty, the acquisition of land and status, and the tension between martial traditions and modernity.
