The Fall Of The Shogun: Dov Silverman

Rescued at fourteen and adopted by an American whaling captain, John Mung was one of the first Japanese to see the wide world outside. From America to Hawaii and China he followed his adoptive father and foster brother, learning the ways of the West as he learned his trade as a master mariner. Yet his future would be in the land of his birth. As his Emperor faced defeat by the Shogun and as the American Navy appeared on the horizon his destiny became clear - to unite the warring forces of East and West.
