Book excerpt: Oda Nobunaga (1534-82), one of the best-known figures in Japanese history, dominated the political scene in Japan between 1568 and 1582 as he gradually conquered the country's central region and initiated a process of military and political unification. However, no standard biography existed on this warlord. Japonius Tyrannus fills the gap in our knowledge about Nobunaga. The chronological narrative provides a thorough analysis of his political and military career. " -- a solid, richly detailed political biography." -- Conrad Totman in Monumenta Nipponica
