The "Amakusa Military Chronicles" is a four-volume series that delves into the Amakusa Rebellion, detailing the actions and impacts of key figures such as Amakusa Shiro and Matsukura Shigemasa. It is a comprehensive account that draws upon various historical sources, including the "Shimabara Military Chronicles," to provide a detailed narrative of the uprising and its surrounding events.

This collection, featuring volumes 1 and 2, offers a deep dive into the lives and legacies of historical figures and events, presented with a focus on factual accuracy and minimal literary embellishment.
