Further sections cover religion and the samurai, bushido and harakiri, and samurai heraldry.More than 175 maps, diagrams and illustrations, many previously unpublished outside Japan, add greatly to the text, and some forty anecdotes illuminate the heroic events of Japanese military history during the samurai period.Dr Stephen Turnbull is the recognised authority on the samurai tradition. He has travelled widely in Japan since his first visit in 1970 and is an expert on the Japanese religion. The Samurai Sourcebook is his latest in a long and eminent line of published works.
