Description
A nonfiction history book for middle to high schoolers, this volume explores the life of Samurai legend Minamoto Yoshitsune. This account of the famous Samurai has it all: drama, warfare, petty rivalries, codes of honor, tactics, bitter betrayals, and gruesome battles. The tale begins in Yoshitsune's infancy, just a young child helpless against the enemies that his father left for him after an assault gone wrong. Follow along on a journey through the boy's childhood training to be a Buddhist monk, his decision to run away as a teenager and become a warrior, his rise to power as a military leader of the Minamoto clan and governor in adulthood, and his eventual death. Well-researched, yet written in a dramatic narrative tone and populated with expressive ink brush illustrations, this is history as it should be: not boring. Note: this is a book about Samurai, and hence, there's plenty of violence within its pages; some readers of this book have felt the violence is glorified. 236 pgs, pb.
