This work incorporates nearly twenty years of on-going research and draws on both new readings of primary sources and the most recent secondary scholarship. It overturns many of the stereotypes that have dominated views of the period. Friday analyses Heian -, Kamakura- and Nambokucho-period warfare from five thematic angles. He examines the principles that justified armed conflict, the mechanisms used to raise and deploy armed forces, the weapons available to early medieval warriors, the means by which they obtained them, and the techniques and customs of battle. A thorough, accessible and informative review, this study highlights the complex casual relationships among the structures and sources of early medieval political power, technology, and the conduct of war.Warfare and history.SamuraiHistoryJapanHistory, MilitaryTo 1868SamuraiHistory.952/.0215.75bclFriday Karl F651135MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910957002403321Samurai, warfare and the state in early medieval Japan4493434UNINA
