1st printing.
By Stephen Turnbull.
This Samurai history, filled with dozens of woodblock prints and photographs, is an authoritative text on Japan's most fearsome warriors.
Through fascinating stories and full-color historical images that show the samurai in mesmerizing detail, military historian Stephen Turnbull provides an invaluable guide to an enduring legacy.
The earliest samurai warriors were actually aristocratic mounted archers, not swordsmen. Only as the archer gave way to the mounted spearman did swordsmanship come into play. Turnbull details how the history and the legacy of the samurai developed over centuries into a multifaceted, richly elaborate tapestry of martial and societal traditions.
From the first recorded use of the word samurai in the eighth century to the final wars waged in resistance to the Meiji government in the late nineteenth century, this Japanese history book recounts the complex history of these warriors and demonstrates why the samurai continue to fascinate the world today.
Includes 180 color and b&w photos and images!
Softcover, 8 1/2-in. x 11-in., 208 pages, PC/PB&W.

By Thomas Louis and Tommy Ito .
The samurai were the most skilled elite group of combatants the world has ever seen. Their name means one who serves. Years of training, discipline, and self-sacrifice combined with advanced weaponry and unprecedented tactical acumen created a force unmatched over centuries of Japanese history.
Samurai explores the essence, truth, and wisdom of these remarkable warriors. It features renowned samurai warriors, their weapons, armor, and military strategies and illuminates their unwavering Bushido philosophy – the strict code of honor requiring absolute loyalty to their master above all else, and ritual suicide in preference to dying a dishonored death.
This book explores the spirit, body, and minds of these sublime paladins who long ago passed into legend, but still live on today.
Hardcover, 6-ion. x 9-in., 208 pages, Text (with full color and B&W Chapter Illustrations).
