Samurai: A Biography in Twelve Lives
Vaporis, Constantine Nomikos (Professor of History; Founding Director, Asian Studies Program, Professor of History; Founding Director, Asian Studies Program, University of Maryland, Baltimore County)
By means of a series of indelible portraits of these world-famous warriors, Constantine Vaporis deepens our understanding of samurai culture, revealing how during the relatively peaceful Tokugawa shogunate (1600-1868), these battle-hardened fighters reinvented themselves as bureaucrats, scholars, teachers, and artists, reflecting Japan's emergence from isolation to the global stage.
