1866, Japan. It is a time of sweeping change and open rebellion. Under threat of subjugation from the modern nations of the industrialized West, the non-hereditary Samurai Clans demand action from the ruling Tokugawa Shogunate. Enter William Merrick of the American Consulate in Hakodate, who is tasked to rescue a group of shipwrecked Americans en route to Edo. As a whirlwind of events unfolds, he unwittingly becomes swept up in a deadly plot by a secretive faction’s scheme, who with their American co-conspirators, seek to seize power by eliminating their political rivals and overthrow the Old Order. In a feudal land headed towards civil war ruled by powerful Samurai Warlords divided by loyalties between the Emperor and the military ruler, the Shōgun, the fate of an Empire will be placed in the hands of one man under The Setting Sun.

ISHIMARU

MY FATHER'S WAR IN VIETNAM

AND THE LONG SHADOW OF THE HON CONG MOUNTAIN

This is our first Non-American Mishima publication. For every man who pulled a trigger in Vietnam, there were nine men who supported him. This is the story of one of those men: SP4 Luis Rosas-Luca and those who served with him in the U.S. Army's 1st Air Cavalry Air Mobile Division / 15th Transportation Corps Battalion Delta Company at Camp Radcliff, An Khe in the Central Highlands of the Republic of Vietnam 1965-1966. Overlooking their base stood the Hon Cong Mountain whose shadow lives on as a metaphor for the war's long reach after their tour ended and how it affected these Vietnam Veterans and their families. This book contains over 400 never before seen photographs taken by Luis Rosas during his tour in Vietnam.
