From the back: "Of the Great Clans of Rokugan, three have always embraced the art of war with a dedication that their peers cannot match: the Crab, who keep the Shadowlands at bay by sheer force of arms; the Lion, whose founder literally wrote the book on military strategy; and the Unicorn, whose tradition of exceptional horsemanship and unconventional ways have made them a formidable opponent on the battlefield. Masters of War views each of them through their contributions to Rokugani practice and history." This book contains: - The fortifications, strongholds and army structure of Crab, Lion and Unicorn forces - Elite units that use new Paths and Advanced Schools - A time line of major conflicts that has help shape the Empire's history A note on the the dimensions on the book: it is noticeably smaller than other books in the line.
