On October 21, 1600, two massive Japanese armies, totaling an estimated 200,000 soldiers - armed to the teeth with swords, yari (spears), arrows, muskets, and cannons - faced off on a battlefield near the town of Sekigahara. A bitter fight to the death ensued, and the results would determine the course of Japanese history for the next 250 years.

There was a really strange “reversal” of names about a third of the way through, ie: Toyotomi Hideyoshi and Tokugawa Ieyasu being changed to Hideyoshi Toyotomi and Ieyasu Tokugawa, as well as others. This lasted for maybe a short chapter and then it was back to normal… Also some odd usage of an individuals family and given names used separately in the same paragraph, oftentimes, from one sentence to the next… Overall, still a well done overview and I would recommend it to all those who are interested in Japanese military history.

It is one of the most well-known and well-loved fantasy epics of the twentieth century: the story of Elric, emperor of the dying kingdom of Melniboné. For a hundred centuries the Melnibonéans have ruled from the Dragon Isle of Imrryr. Now, after years of corruption and decadence, Elric’s amoral cousin Prince Yyrkoon, the brother of his beloved Cymoril, sets his eyes on the Ruby Throne. Elric must face his treacherous cousin not as a warrior but as a sorcerer king once again in league with the ancient gods of Melniboné, the Chaos Lords, and thus sealing his inexorable fate.
