大久保利通
Mounsey's "The Satsuma Rebellion" (1879), which chronicled the Satsuma Rebellion of 1877 and assassination of Ōkubo Toshimichi in 1877, was noted by Shigeno Yasutsugu for its deviation from the East Asian historiography through annalistic records and for its discussion beyond the immediate factors of the rebellion. The book gives the most detailed descriptions of the military campaigns of the rebellion.
