Dive into Japanese history—and discover who the samurai
really
were—in this fascinating study that reveals the flawed human warriors behind the idealistic myths.
This is the go-to volume on bushido (“the way of the warrior”), drawing on a wide range of historical sources to paint a vivid picture of the samurai in action and separating the truth from the myth of samurai chivalry. It offers a long-overdue update to the attractive but inaccurate portrait of the samurai painted in
Bushido: The Soul of Japan,
which has been a bestseller ever since its publication in 1905, and the equally idealistic
Hagakure
(c.1716).
The Book of Bushido
explores the reality of warrior behavior versus the idealistic depiction created for an Edwardian audience by the author of
Bushido: The Soul of Japan.
It reveals the truth of how the samurai really behaved and of what they considered to be a warrior ethos. The image of the perfect eastern warrior is replaced with a much more interesting reality: hardened, bloodstained military leaders with human failings and a complex set of ideas about the world; men who engaged in ritual, magic and ceremony . . . who led their followers in war and peace . . . and who fought a battle between addiction to power and morality.
