Author's note and acknowledgements

In keeping with the spirit of the Essential Histories senes. I have

tried to produce a concise and readable account of Japan's most

tuit>ulent age.This has been an enormous task because the wars

of the time were complex affairs, complicated by shifting patterns

of alliance and rapid developments in weaponry and tactics,

include all these factors in the pages which follow, and describe

every major battle of the period in some way.Those chosen for

detailed study, however do not include battles such as Nagashino

which are already covered in other Osprey volumes.
