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.
