Unlike the renowned \u003ci\u003eShort Cultural History\u003c\/i\u003e, it is concerned mainly with political and social phenomena and only incidentally touches on religion, literature, and the arts. The treatment is primarily descriptive and factual, but the author offers some pragmatic interpretations and suggests comparisons with the history of other peoples.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003ci\u003eA History of Japan: 1334-1615\u003c\/i\u003e describes the growth of a new feudal hierarchy, the ebb and flow of civil war, the rise and fall of great families, and the development amidst extreme political disorder of remarkable new features in institutional and economic life. This is the period of expanding relations with other parts of Asia and of the arrival of traders and missionaries from European countries--the first contact of Japan with the West. The volume ends with an account of the abortive invasion of Korea and the last outburst of the civil war that was terminated in 1615 by the victory of the first of the Tokugawa Shoguns, Ieyasu.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBack Jacket\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e'All students of Japanese history will welcome the completion of this history...These volumes, with the author's earlier works, provide the standard and point of departure for future work in Japanese history.' -The American Historical Review\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eSir George Sansom was a British diplomat and historian of pre-modern Japan.
