The 47 Ronin Story (Tuttle Classics)
"The book contains a new foreword by Stephen Turnbull, the historical advisor for47 Roninand the author of more than 50 books on military history. …As Turnbull says in his foreword: "The raid of the Forty Seven Ronin holds a unique place in Japanese history. There is nothing quite like it, and John Allyn's masterful re-retelling of the tale captures for modern readers much of the excitement with which the Japanese populace of the mid-eighteenth century would have responded to what for them was the equivalent of a newspaper sensation.""—Publishers Weekly--This text refers to an alternatePaperbackedition.
