In Legends of the Samurai, Hiroaki Sato confronts both the history and the legend of the samurai, untangling the two to present an authentic picture of these legendary warriors.

A fascinating look at Japanese history as seen through the evolution of the samurai, Legends of the Samurai stands as the ultimate authority on its subject.
“A welcome antidote to the one-dimensional image of the samurai . . . a revealing, entertaining, and often surprising portrait of pre-modern Japan’s heroic warrior elite.” —Mangajin
