But the popular image of the samurai only brushes the surface of these complex warriors.

Authoritative military-history expert Stephen Turnbull shows how the samurai evolved from the primitive fighters of the 7th century into an invincible military caste with a fearsome reputation. Many aspects of the samurai and their military significance are covered, including the cultural reasons that the elite mounted archers originally emerged in Japan; the wars against pirate invaders; how samurai masters taught the next generation; the women samurai and their accomplishments; and much more. Samurai Swordsman is an invaluable guide to an enduring legacy.
