Book
Samurai rising : the epic life of Minamoto Yoshitsune / Pamela S. Turner ; illustrated by Gareth Hinds.
Yoshitsune had little going for him. Exiled to a monastery, he had no money, no allies, and no marital training. He wasn't big or strong or good-looking. His only assets were brains, ambition, and a dream. But childhood dreams can change history. At the age of fifteen, Yoshitsune escaped. Blow by painful blow, he learned the art of the sword. Fall after bruising fall, he mastered mounted archery. He joined his half brother Yoritomo in an uprising against the most powerful samurai in Japan. This is a story of insane courage and daring feats, bitter rivalry and fatal love.
