Yes I have read that book. It was quite a disappointment especially since it
carries a price tag of 7000 yen. With a text of some 220 pages it covers the
bare minimum of his life. it tells nothing about his personal life and skips
his 'relations' with Mori Ranmaru and Maeda Toshiie. The battle of Okehazama
gets a small blurb almost as an afterthought. I have often posted my
complaints about the lack of good narrative histories for Japanese history.
This book is a good example of what I mean.
