Summary:	"Assassination--in Japanese, ansatsu or "dark murder"--Was instrumental in the samurai-led revolution known as the Meiji Restoration, by which the shogun's military government was overthrown and the Imperial monarchy restored in 1868. This first-ever account in English of the assassins who drove the revolution details one of the most volatile periods in Japanese history"--
