Are there any? I have the Osprey MAA and have read political accounts about the Boshin War (lots and lots of negotiations) but very little sources of information on the war itself outside of Wikipedia. Are there any? |

Specific to the naval aspect of the war:

The only two books I know that might be useful are 'Meiji 1868 Revolution and Counter-Revolution in Japan' by Paul Akamatsu, and 'Samurai Revolution' by Romulus Hillsborough which covers the period 1868-1877. |
