Samurai Rising: The Epic Life of Minamoto Yoshitsune
by Pamela S. Turner
Despite fascination with the samurai culture of Japan, it can be difficult to piece together the true story of what happened to Minamoto Yoshitsune, one of Japan's most famous samurai. This is mostly due to lack of written accounts from that time period. However, Turner has taken the information available and written a credible account of what did happen to Minamoto Yoshitsune. It is full of action, adventure, betrayal, battles, etc.
It can be a bit confusing at times with the similar but different names of various characters. Some background knowledge is helpful but not necessary. Steer towards more capable readers - although it might hook a reluctant reader if this is a topic of interest for them.
