A powerful contemporary translation of the classic treatise of the Way of the Warrior, still the core of Japanese social, political and corporate structure, as compelling now as when it was first written 400 years ago.

On its way to kizmiaz. Hope you enjoy it!
This is quite a precious little book.
Even if you're not into martial arts or Japan, this is a book that you should read, it's an insight into a whole different way of living and also into a society.
Even though the Bushido no longer rule Japan once you read this book you'll understand better where did the modern Japanese society evolved from and it's obvious that it still retains and practices a lot of these teachings.
The way of the Warrior is a compilation of teachings for the neophyte warrior about all sorts of things but it is also a great set of teachings for anyone of us.
Never though I'd enjoy it so much, it's certainly a must read!
