Reviews

Karl Friday's latest book, Samurai, Warfare, and the State in Early Medieval Japan, is a useful and informative corrective to these misconceptions. <br>-Peter Lorge, Vanderbilt University, The Journal of Asian Studies <br>


'Friday's book is elegantly written, well informed on Japanese research, and backed by abundant quotes from the relevant original sources. His frequent comparisons with European history are well chosen, his arguments convincing.' - Monumenta Nipponica
