Tokushi Zeigi

The Tokushi Zeigi (読史贅議) is an analysis of Japanese historic persons by Saitō Chikudō. This book covers both politicians and servicemen. Tokushi Zeigi is different from other Japanese history books of those days. Chikudō evaluated historic persons by their political ability, not their personal morality.
