His own father wanted him gone.
A cruel warlord. A favored younger brother. A rejected son told, again and again, that he would never be fit to rule.
He proved every one of them wrong.
Born in 1521 into one of Japan's oldest samurai houses, Takeda Shingen inherited nothing but contempt from a father determined to disinherit him. What he built instead, patiently, ruthlessly, and often at devastating personal cost, made him one of the most feared commanders the Sengoku era ever produced.
Few people know that Shingen removed his own father from power without drawing a single sword. Fewer still know the real story behind his legendary rivalry with Uesugi Kenshin, the truth behind his final illness, or why the popular tale of his death is almost entirely wrong.
What you are about to discover will change how you see the age of the samurai.
This fully researched narrative history separates documented fact from centuries of legend at every turn, following Shingen from a humiliated childhood through a bloodless coup, a decade long conquest of an entire province, and a final campaign that briefly made him the most feared man in central Japan.
If you love narrative history that reads like a novel, or you simply want to understand how a rejected son became the Tiger of Kai, this book was written for you.
