1.The Samurai: A Military HistoryThe Samurai: A Military History
from RoutledgeCurzon
Price: $57.82

Customer Review:
This is an amazing historical work, which begins with the mythological creation of Japan. The style follows Herodotus in the form of a story, not the Thucydides style.

Customer Review:
This book is an excellent guide to better understanding the various clothes, armor, as well as dress practices of the Samurai from the late Hein period throught the Edo.

from Modern Library
Price: $6.99

Customer Review:
Because I'm not a historian but rather someone with an interest for the sport of fencing, I can't speak for the accuracy of the details within the pages of the book. As the author has openly admitted here, there were corrections to be made and he has done them. I applaud his honesty in acknowledging... more info

Customer Review:
I read this book some time ago and it was really a wonderful experience!
