Samurai : The Weapons and Spirit of the Japanese Warrior
by Clive Sinclaire
The history of Japan over the last thousand years is largely the history
of the elite military class, the samurai warriors. The samurai were an
entire and separate class in society. Until late in the nineteenth century
they had an absolute monopoly on the bearing of arms in Japan. They followed
a special code known as bushido, a philosophical foundation for a "freedom
from fear", and epitomized the ideals of patriotism and devotion to military
duty.

Warrior
Rule in Japan
by Marius Jansen
Book Description Japan was ruled by warriors for the better part of
a millennium. From the twelfth to the nineteenth century its political
history was dominated by the struggle of competing leagues of fighting
men. This volume, comprised of chapters taken from Volumes 3 and 4 of The
Cambridge History of Japan, traces the institutional development of warrior
rule and dominance. Although samurai influence waned with the development
of constitutional government, warrior values remained central to the ethical
code of modern Japan.
