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.
