This book was a major disappointment. It claims to start in 1467 but it barely covers the events of the Onin War, I still don't understand why it started. It seems to randomly skip forward in time spending little time explaining anything. The Imjin War gets only a few paragraphs with no explanation why it was a hard war or the Chinese intervention.
But then the author spends pages and pages on less important things such as the biography of a samurai and a tea master or the different types of sound signals used by the armies.
Overall very weak, not recommended as a primer on the subject. It probably creates more confusion if the reader isn't already versed in the history.
