―――――――――――――
It is more meaningful to learn lessons from the failures of the losers than from the success stories of the victors.
A compelling history of Japan, learning from the negative examples of figures like Minamoto no Yoshitsune, Oda Nobunaga, and Saigo Takamori!

【Contents of this Book】――――――
■Excerpt from the "Introduction"

As Matsuura Seizan, a daimyo and master swordsman of the Edo period, said, "There are inexplicable victories, but no inexplicable defeats."

Brilliant successes are not always based on a "winning formula," but are often supported by chance or luck. On the other hand, defeats and failures have clear causes.

If that is the case, wouldn't it be more useful to learn from the countless mediocre failures that have existed throughout history? Even if it's a dull story due to the bad economy, paying attention to the failures of the losers and striving not to make the same mistakes is far more meaningful than feeling good by reading the flashy and brilliant leadership theories of successful people.

This book deliberately focuses on the losers of history and examines why they were defeated and failed.
