- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5In this Osprey monograph Turnbull examines the evolution of Japan's "feudal" armies from being personal war bands to their eventual coalescence as the army of the Tokugawa Shogunate; essentially the national army of Japan. Much time is spent on the links of social obligation that were the foundation of these forces, the typical organization and formations, and some examples of these forces in action which illustrate the course of their evolution; particularly the rise of massed infantry and the introduction of firearms.
