Japanese Castles 15401640 by Stephen Turnbull

This title covers the entire period of Japanese castle development from the first introduction of stone walls and tower keeps in the mid-16th century, through the period of the great sieges of Japanese history.

Stephen Turnbull is the world's leading English language authority on medieval Japan and the samurai. He has travelled extensively in the far east, particularly in Japan and Korea and is the author of ‘The Samurai - A Military History’ and numerous Osprey books including Men-at-Arms 86: ‘Samurai Armies 1550-1615’, Campaign 69: 'Nagashino 1575' and Warrior 29: 'Ashigaru 1467-1649'.

Peter Dennis was born in 1950 and, having been inspired by contemporary magazines such as 'Look and Learn', studied illustration at Liverpool Art College. He has since contributed to hundreds of books, predominantly on historical subjects. He is a keen wargamer and modelmaker, and this is his first title for Osprey.
