I'm always blown away by the lyrics to "Battle Cry of Freedom" which was a very popular contemporary song and should make it crystal clear how northerners felt about the war and reasons they were fighting.

I think it was this thread chatting about Toyotomi Hideyoshi earlier. I just visited Osaka Castle and, man, the ego on this guy... Anyway, I've read Taiko, but is there a good work of non-fiction anyone would recommend? Hideyoshi is the most interesting to me but I'd be open to a broader look that covers all the unifiers of that time period.
