  Kamakura Shogunate - Samurai...

  The rise of the Kamakura Shogunate marks a pivotal moment in Japanese history, transitioning from the aristocratic Heian period to the feudal system dominated by the samurai. This era began with the victory of Minamoto no Yoritomo, who, after the Genpei War (1180-1185), established a new form of governance centered in Kamakura, a small coastal town far from the imperial capital of Kyoto. 
  The Genpei War was a civil conflict between the Taira and Minamoto clans, which ultimately ended with the defeat of the Taira in the Battle of Dan-no-ura in 1185. Minamoto no Yoritomo, the leader of the Minamoto clan, emerged as the victor, but his triumph was not simply a personal or clan-based success. Yoritomo's victory laid the foundation for a shift in the political landscape of Japan. The Taira had represented the old courtly aristocracy that governed Japan through the imperial system, but the rise of the Minamoto signaled the beginning of samurai dominance and a move toward military rule. 
  In 1192, Yoritomo was granted the title of shogun by the emperor, an act that formalized his military authority. This title, meaning "generalissimo" or "commander of the army," was traditionally given to military leaders in times of war but had never been used as the primary governing title before. This marked the official beginning of the Kamakura Shogunate, a military dictatorship that would rule Japan for over a century. Though the emperor remained the nominal ruler, Yoritomo’s power was based in Kamakura, far from the imperial court, which shifted the balance of power from the capital to the military elite.

  Tories The: A Tragedy

  'Fantastic' – James O'Brien 
  The brilliant mind behind the Secret Tory presents 14 years of Tory rule – as told by William Shakespeare 
  'O, for a muse of fire that would ascend 
  The brightest heaven of pretention! 
  A kingdom for a stage, Tories to act, 
  Oligarchs to behold the swelling scene!’ 
  So begins The Tories: A Tragedy. In this brilliant new work of political satire, Henry Morris presents fourteen years of Conservative (mis)rule in the only form in which such misfortunes could be portrayed: as a Shakespearean play. 
  In five acts that take in five prime ministers, The Tories: A Tragedy is a captivatingly realised Jacobean tragedy, replete with Machiavellian manoeuvrings, hilarious mechanicals and poignant verse. Publishing in the shadow of the most significant election since the Tories came to power in 2010, this exhilarating, original book is an alternative history of a disastrous reign – a drama that will appeal to those who love Shakespeare, comedy, Shakespeare’s comedies, and those who simply love to laugh at the Tory party. 
  With a keen eye for parodies and humor, Morris masterfully weaves ideologies of conservatism and liberalism into a theater of politics. His playwriting process, a performing art in itself, brings to life the parties and their top players in a non-fiction narrative that is as entertaining as it is enlightening. 
  For fans of Robert Jobson (Diana), Rory Stewart (The Marches), Richard Osman (The World Cup Of Everything), The Secret Barrister (Nothing But The Truth), and Tina Brown (The Palace Papers).
