　　With all the adventure, derring-do, and bloodcurdling battle

scenes of his earlier book, Nathaniel’s Nutmeg, acclaimed

historian Giles Milton dazzles readers with the true story of

William Adams—the first Englishman to set foot in Japan (and the

inspiration for James Clavell’s bestselling novel Shogun).

Beginning with Adams’s startling letter to the East India Company

in 1611—more than a decade after he’d arrived in Japan—Samurai

William chronicles the first foray by the West into that

mysterious closed-off land. Drawing upon the journals and letters

of Adams as well as the other Englishmen who came looking for him,

Samurai William presents a unique glimpse of Japan before it

once again closed itself off from the world for another two hundred

years.
