A Shattered Realm: Wars and Lives in Fourteenth-Century Japan

By Royall Tyler

Turmoil ruled Japan's fourteenth century. Rival emperors fought each other, as did warlord brothers. These annotated and fully introduced documents (battle accounts, personal accounts, an account of a key religious cult) convey the mood and the events of the time, as well as the experiences of significant figures who lived through them--including a rare autobiographical memoir by a lady who lost her husband to the chaos and had to bear her son in hiding. No other book on medieval Japan resembles this one.
