Download or read book Most Fierce Ruthless Warriors That Shaped History: Shinobi Ninja written by Adrian Ambrose and published by . This book was released on 2016-02-29 with total page 32 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Infiltration, ambush, assassination, and espionage are the trademarks of the ninja. Their techniques are precise, timed, and their skills are that of legends. The mystery and mystique that surround the ninja have been popularized in Hollywood for decades. Their skills force us to bend our beliefs on what we believe is humanly possible. To their enemy they are ghosts. They make a kill before their presence is even known and disappear while the body hits the ground. They move in silence and stealth as individuals or in small teams. They are now facing a foe who intends to exterminate them. If they are to avoid extinction they will need to muster all their skills and talents to ensure their continued existence. This is the incredibly true story of the Shinobi Ninjas of Iga and their extraordinary rise to become an irreplaceable force in the Japanese war machine.Interview With the AuthorQ - So, what makes your new series, Most Fierce Ruthless Warriors That Shaped History, special?A - Honestly, it is a mix of things. I love diving deep into history and the lesser known stories of those who shaped history. I'm not referring to the popular historical figures like Genghis Kahn, Alexander the Great, Charlemagne, or Julius Caesar. I mean the history regarding them is awesome stuff but this series makes a conscious effort to go beyond the typical textbook history.In this series you get Ancient Assassins and the birth of terrorism, ancient Germanic Ghost Warriors and Rome's greatest defeat, Viking Berserkers and the invasion of England, and Viking Varangian Guard in the Byzantine Empire. We even cover the great Eagle Warriors of the Aztec Empire and Kamehameha's Hawaiian Koa warriors, two cultures that were forced to face overwhelming odds when they encountered European forces for the first time. The history is fascinating; it goes into depth regarding how the cultures viewed the Europeans as gods and the recorded omens in their history that foretold the arrival of these strange forces. This series tells the histories of the greatest and most elite warriors throughout the world and history.Q - What order should I read the series in?A - Well that's another awesome part of this series. Each one stands independently. I did this so my readers could pick and choose the stories that interest them most or they can buy the entire volume and get all five stories for considerably less than purchasing them individually. However, two of the stories are connected even though they can both be read independently. The historical tales on the Varangian Guard and the Viking Berserkers respectively both evolve around Harald Hardrada. In this case they should be read in their respective order if the reader chooses to purchase both. But it is laid out in Volume 1 with that in mind.Q - So why should readers give your books a go?A - Simply put they're exciting reads. Most are short reads, 30-40 pages, and they are written in the present tense. As you read these books you really feel as though you're there watching the Shinobi appear from the fog and attack the Samurai, or the Germanic Ghost Warrior appear from the darkness and strike into the Roman legions, or feel the true terror that the Christian monks felt right before they were slaughtered by the Viking Berserkers. History is my passion and that translates in my writing. I want my readers to thoroughly enjoy learning about history so I give it to them in a thrilling and exciting read. I don't bog them down with trivial information. I give them the historical facts presented in an awesome telling of history.

Book Synopsis Samurai and Ninja by : Antony Cummins
Download or read book Samurai and Ninja written by Antony Cummins and published by Tuttle Publishing. This book was released on 2016-08-09 with total page 288 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The myths of the noble Samurai and the sinister Ninja are filled with romantic fantasy and fallacy. Samurai and Ninja expert Antony Cummins shatters the myths and exposes the true nature of these very real—and very lethal—medieval Japanese warriors. The Samurai and Ninja were in fact brutal killing machines trained in torture and soaked in machismo. Many were skilled horsemen and sword-fighting specialists, while others were masters of deception and sabotage. Some fought for loyalty, others for personal gain. What these warriors all shared in common was their unflinching personal bravery, skill and brutality. In Samurai and Ninja, Cummins separates myth from reality and shows why the Japanese were the greatest warriors of all time: He describes the Samurai and the Ninja as they really were in earlier times when battles raged across Japan—not in later times when war became obsolete and Japanese warriors became philosophers, scholars and courtiers. He describes the social context of the day and the feudal world into which the warriors were trained to fight and die for their lords. He exposes the essentially brutal nature of warfare in medieval Japan. This book is illuminated by many rare Japanese manuscripts and texts which are translated into English for the very first time.

Download or read book The Ninja written by Eric Van Lustbader and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2014-07-01 with total page 713 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Out of the violent chaos of medieval Japan, a band of men from the mountain provinces rose to become some of the world's most feared warriors. These men trained to perfect their art – a deadly union of martial skill and deception – to defend themselves against the warlords, samurai and bandits who sought to exploit them. Hundreds of years later their name is a legend whispered down the generations. A select few are still trained in the ancient craft. Fewer still are selected to train at the feet of the most arcane practitioners of the shadow warriors... Nicholas Linnear is one of these elect. And as the city of New York is terrorized by a ritualistic murderer, he may be the only man who can stop these killings. A ghost, an assassin, guided by honour and tradition: the Ninja.
Book Synopsis In Search of the Ninja by : Antony Cummins
Download or read book In Search of the Ninja written by Antony Cummins and published by The History Press. This book was released on 2012-02-29 with total page 264 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Lost in modern myth, false history and general misinterpretation, the Ninja have been misrepresented for many years. More recently, a desire for a more historical view of the ninja has become a popular theme in the history/martial arts community and Antony Cummins is the primary driving force behind that movement. In Search of the Ninja is based upon the Historical Ninjutsu Research Team's translations of the major ninja manuals and consists of genuinely new material. Little historical research has been done on the Ninja of Japan. Here for the first time the connection of the famous Hattori family warriors with the Ninja is explained. The Samurai versus Ninja myth is dispelled. The realities of Ninja skills are analysed. How did a Ninja work underwater when mining castle walls? How can a bird be used to set fire to the enemy's camp? The book explores newly discovered connections to ancient Chinese manuals, lost skills and the 'hidden' Zen philosophy that the Ninja followed. In Search of the Ninja is the first and only historical look at the shinobi of ancient Japan.

Download or read book Samurai William written by Giles Milton and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2003-01-18 with total page 370 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: An eye-opening account of the first encounter between England and Japan, by the acclaimed author of Nathaniel's Nutmeg In 1611, the merchants of London's East India Company received a mysterious letter from Japan, written several years previously by a marooned English mariner named William Adams. Foreigners had been denied access to Japan for centuries, yet Adams had been living in this unknown land for years. He had risen to the highest levels in the ruling shogun's court, taken a Japanese name, and was now offering his services as adviser and interpreter. Seven adventurers were sent to Japan with orders to find and befriend Adams, in the belief that he held the key to exploiting the opulent riches of this forbidden land. Their arrival was to prove a momentous event in the history of Japan and the shogun suddenly found himself facing a stark choice: to expel the foreigners and continue with his policy of isolation, or to open his country to the world. For more than a decade the English, helped by Adams, were to attempt trade with the shogun, but confounded by a culture so different from their own, and hounded by scheming Jesuit monks and fearsome Dutch assassins, they found themselves in a desperate battle for their lives. Samurai William is the fascinating story of a clash of two cultures, and of the enormous impact one Westerner had on the opening of the East.

Book excerpt: Stephen Turnbull, the world's leading authority on the samurai, goes beyond the battlefield to paint a picture of the samurai as they really were.
