"If you're like me you've seen a lot of movies and they hype up ninja history and dilute the reality. This book will help bring your vision back to reality in a guide which gets the imagination flowing. It also has some solid concepts which can be processed and applied to many things including combat and life itself. Read it for the entertainment and interest in history but be open to expanding upon some simple life concepts that the ninja applied to their work. It's well worth the read if you're a fan of ninjas and Japanese culture." -Wade McMaster, Martial Arts + Action Movies This new edition contains a new introduction by the translator, and has been thoroughly updated to reflect developments that shed new light on the originalJapanese text.
