The definitive history of the Samurai, by acclaimed author of Ninja: 1,000 Years of the Shadow Warrior
"One could ask for no better storyteller or analyst than John Man." --Simon Sebag Montefiore, author of Jerusalem: The Biography
The inspiration for the Jedi knights of Star Wars and the films of Akira Kurosawa, the legendary Japanese samurai have captured modern imaginations. Yet with these elite warriors who were bound by a code of honor called Bushido--the Way of the Warrior--the reality behind the myth proves more fascinating than any fiction. In Samurai, celebrated author John Man provides a unique and captivating look at their true history, told through the life of one man: Saigo Takamori, known to many as the last samurai. In 1877 Takamori led a rebel army of samurai in a heroic last stand against the Imperial Japanese Army, who sought to end the way of the sword in favor of firearms and modern warfare. Man's thrilling narrative brings to life the hidden world of the samurai as never before.
