Discover the true history of the samurai in the pages of this engaging and beautifully illustrated book. Beyond legend and myth lies a fascinating reality. For seven centuries, the samurai constituted the social and political elite of Japan and forged around them the myth of the noble warrior, brave, honorable, and loyal. But what is true about what we know—or believe we know—about the samurai? What is their true history? Throughout the twelve chapters that make up this book, we will traverse more than a thousand years of the history of this warrior caste, from its gradual emergence during the second half of the first millennium to its official disappearance at the end of the 19th century. A truthful and engaging narrative, based on facts, bibliography, and historical documents, which also describes the legendary and mythical aspects without confusing them with reality, as this is sufficiently captivating in its own right.
