I have read all those books and yes they are all very redundant, especially
if you read them back to back. Essentially he's been writing the same book
over and over, each one though having a tidbit of more info then the others.
Of his books I would recommend his first The Samurai, Samurai Warfare,
Samurai Sourcebook, Battles of the Samurai, and Ashigaru. Again I wouldn't
read the all together as they do repeat themselves. If you're going to get
The samurai a molitary history, Turnbull has written a revised version,
1996/Japan Library, that takes in a lot of new info since he wrote the
original in 1977.
