This is James Clavell's tour-de-force; an epic saga of one Pilot-Major John Blackthorne, and his integration into the struggles and strife of feudal Japan. Both entertaining and incisive, Shugun is a stunningly dramatic re-creation of a very different world. Starting with his shipwreck on this most alien of shores, the novel charts Blackthorne's rise from the status of reviled foreigner up to the hights of trusted advisor and eventually, Samurai. All as civil war looms over the fragile country.

Great Read
I enjoyed this years ago when it first came out - was vastly disappointed by the 'miniseries' they did from it on TV.
Re-reading it was fun again.
Clavell's characters and places are vivid and believable and exciting. Great books to sink into and get a feel for other lands.
