About Japanese Castles AD 250 1540 :

Dr Stephen Turnbull is internationally recognised  for his research into and writing on Japanese military history. Here he  applies his scholarship to an account of the evolution of Japanese  defensive architecture and engineering, from early earthworks through to  wooden and earth castles and, finally, the emergence of the stone  towers that are so characteristic of the samurai. He also plots the  adaptation of Japanese castles to accommodate the introduction of  firearms. With unpublished photographs from the author's private  collection and full-colour artwork, including detailed cutaways, this is  an essential guide to the fascinating development of Japanese castles.
