Sengoku Jidai. Nobunaga, Hideyoshi, and Ieyasu: Three Unifiers of Japan

A brilliant work of history
The landscape and history of Japan have been sculpted by the three unifiers. This history is fantastically detailed, to a fault. The fact that this history has been written by someone who is not Japanese and who is a specialist in Western history is remarkable.
If you are planning on touring Japan I recommend this book. Or if your interest in Japanese history is inspired by the recent Shogun series, based on the history of Tokugawa, I also recommend this book.
As I mentioned, the book is extremely detailed. The people and minor events detailed here can drag and I skipped over some parts.
