العنوان الفرعي للكتاب: The Dawn Of Modern Japan Seen Through The Eyes Of the Shogun's Last Samurai
الناشر: Tuttle Publishing
وصف الكتاب: Samurai Revolution tells the fascinating story of Japan's epic transformation at the end of the nineteenth century from a country of shoguns, feudal lords and samurai to a modern industrialized nation. The book covers the turbulent Meiji Period from 1868 to 1912, widely considered the dawn of modern Japan, a time of Samurai history in which those who choose to cling to their traditional bushido way of life engaged in frequent and often deadly clashes with champions of modernization. Knowledge of this period is essential to understand how and why Japan evolved into the nation it is today. The book opens with the fifteen-year fall of the Tokugawa Shogunate, which had ruled Japan for over 250 years, and the restoration of the Meiji emperor to a position of power at the expense of the feudal Daimyo lords. It chronicles the bloody first decade of the newly reestablished monarchy, in which the new government worked desperately to consolidate its power and introduce the innovations that would put Japan on equal footing with the Western powers threatening to dominate it. Finally, Samurai Revolution goes on to tell the story of the Satsuma Rebellion, a failed coup attempt that is widely viewed as the final demise of the samurai class in Japan. This is the first comprehensive history and analysis in English covering all the key figures in this exciting drama and is the result of over twenty-five years of studying this important period in Japanese history. The book contains numerous original translations of key documents and correspondence of the time, as well as photographs and maps. Samurai Revolution goes in-depth to reveal how one era ended and another began.
المراجعة التحريرية: Hillsborough deserves high praise for successfully combining high drama...with meticulous scholarship. -The Daily Yomiuri "Hillsborough...has done a masterful job of bringing a chaotic period to life." -Booklist "With his easily readable and entertaining style, Hillsborough does a great job of elucidating the complex customs that ruled Edo Period life and politics." -The Japan Times "This is a fascinating study of a fascinating period, when an ancient culture was forced to come to terms with the modern world and almost uniquely managed to achieve a rapid transformation..." -Historyofwar.org "Hillsborough's prose is cinematic and intense." -The Wargamer blog "This fine book is one of only a small number of books in the English language that gives a true and authentic account of Japanese history." -Tsutomu Ohshima, Chief Instructor, Shotokan Karate of America "We found it to be not only an excellent biography of Katsu, but an exceedingly well-done, intricate, and clearly written overview of this vital period of Japanese history." -Samurai Archives blog "...Samurai Revolution serves as a compelling and timely warning for America today. Hillsborough astutely captures the serious consequences of self-imposed isolation, xenophobia and failure to adapt to the changing world." -Major Christopher J. Heatherly, Armchair General magazine
