Shogun: The Life of Tokugawa Ieyasu by A.L. SadlerMy rating: 0 of 5 stars
This book was fascinating and an excellent insight into Tokugawa Ieyasu (and also plenty about Oda Obunaga and Toyotomi Hideyoshi).
I confess the tone felt odd. The author uses many original sources, but tends to quote them verbatim, rather than try to suss out fact from fiction, so it often reads like a story rather than history.
I also expected the Imjin war in Korea to feature much more.
Still, excellent read for anyone interested in this fascinating character or the time period in Japan.
