Publisher Description
Arguably the greatest military commander in the history of the samurai, Toyotomi Hideyoshi rose from the ranks of the peasantry to rule over all Japan.
A student of the great unifier Oda Nobunaga, Hideyoshi would later avenge the murder of his master at the battle of Yamazaki. After consolidating his position, Hideyoshi went on the offensive, conquering the southern island of Kyushu in 1587 and defeating the Hojo in 1590. By 1591, he had accomplished the reunification of Japan.
This book looks at the complete story of Hideyoshi's military accomplishments, from his days as a tactical leader to his domination of the Japanese nation.

Disappointing presentation of an amazing man
After watching Dr Turnbull on the Netflix documentary I had high hopes for this book, but it is presented in such a way that completely removes the drama from Hideyoshi’s feats. Reads like a Wikipedia entry, which is a real shame.
