Perhaps the greatest warriors in history, the Samurai were a product of a
social system totally geared to war. The Samurai became expert in fighting
both on horseback and on the ground. Their way of life was dictated by the
code of Bushido or 'way of the warrior' and clad in their magnificent,
multi-coloured armour they were perfectly suited to the violent clan and
dynastic warfare that dominated medieval Japan as the most powerful families
vied for supremacy. In this title Anthony J Bryant presents a fascinating
overview of these truly élite warriors.
