Book Synopsis The Ōnin War 1467-77 by : Stephen Turnbull
Book excerpt: The Ōnin War was the key turning point in samurai warfare. There had been conflicts before, but what made the Ōnin War unique was the fierce street-fighting that went on within Kyoto itself. The battles were conducted from fortified mansions, which were surrounded by stout wooden walls and ditches and sported tall observation towers.
