First there was Sun Tzu…then came The Book of Five Rings…now there is The Kisoku, the Ninja Code. Never meant for the world to see. Not written in the halls of emperors or carved by wandering swordsmen, but forged through one man’s lifelong journey into the heart of truth itself. Ninja were the most feared spies, assassins and weapons masters of feudal Japan. They were instrumental in helping Oda Nobunaga unite the warring tribes into a nation. Most of the clans were decimated, many were completely lost, in the 1588 "sword hunt" of Toyotomi Hideyoshi meaning to disarm the peasant population and prevent any uprising or rebellion. But, as with any genocide, there are always a few who survive and carry on the traditions. Even now the Ghost Soldiers and Shadow Warriors who spread terror and war across Japan during their Golden Age walk among us. Here are some of the methods, the strategy, the tactics that made them legends. Including 20th century spies, Small Unit and Military Tactics, How-To Use the Shield and Spear in Combat, the secret Five Rings sword techniques of Miyamoto Musashi, classic Art of War by Sun Tzu and the sinister machinations of Machiavelli's advice to kings, The Prince. These manuals and handbooks show basic techniques of stealth and covert operational methods used by ancient masters of strategy and tactics as well as personal shield, sword and spear techniques that can be learned quickly and used effectively.
