Passion and Loyalty Redifined
By Aku Kaze
The Meiji Revolution was a historic moment, in many ways affecting the world as well as Japan. The two sides of this historic moment were both fighting for a cause that was noble and noteworthy. The battles fought in the streets of Kyoto will never be forgotten, especially when one remembers that the side of the incumbent ruling power, the Shogunate, was one of the most feared police forces known, the Shinsengumi.Hillsoborough's historical narrative of the rise and fall of this samurai police force is one of the most well written of its kind. The writing is clear and easy to follow, even though the situation it describes is not. There are few flaws in this books and none of them are note-worthy. To put it in short, if you are interested in Japanese history or about the samurai, get this book, you won't be disappointed!

Well-researched, if not always the smoothest of reads
By Simon Collier
"Shinsengumi" tells the true story of the ruthless group of two-sworded killers assembled by the Tokugawa Shogunate to stave off rebellion against its rule. It is not perhaps the best starting point for a history of 1860s Japan, but for those already familiar with the basics of that period this is an extremely well-researched addition to the English language record, if not always the smoothest of reads.Mr Hillsborough's scholarship is impressive. His Japanese language ability allows him to draw on a wide range of original source materials, many of which are referenced for the first time in an English language history, while his feel for the period is sure throughout this book's two hundred or so pages. The shortcomings lie not in the research but in the writing. The subject matter is unavoidably complicated, but not every effort is made to simplify where possible. The more flowery, introductory passages to each chapter are I think a stylistic error, tending to be overblown and frequently relying on Orientalist references to the fickle "Sun Goddess" of fate. Profiles of the main Shinsengumi figures are dumped on the reader in one deluge, rather than sprinkled through the book where appropriate for ease of absorption. In some places unnecessary reference is made to the year using both the Christian and the Japanese Imperial calendars, while in others only the month is given when from the non-linear narrative it is not clear which year is being discussed. For these reasons and others there are times when the reader is confused or distracted and the flow of the story is lost.So don't read this if you are new to the history of Japan at this time, nor if you want to be carried along by a rollercoaster of a historical narrative. Do read if you want to delve deeper into the historical detail and learn about one of the last bloody throws of the dice by the Tokugawa Shogunate.
