Ninja 1000 Years fo the Shadow Warriors by John Man

Today ninjas are the stuff of myth and legend frequently found in the fictions of comic books film and computer games.  But they were once real the medieval equivalent of the SAS: spies  assassins and saboteurs.  In their secrecy stealth and determination to survive they were the opposite of the overt self-destruction samurai.  Could they fly?  Make themselves invisible?  Of course not.  But their skills gave them a magical aura.  As a result martial artists and storytellers have turned them into fantasy creatures gracing the annals of popular cultures from James Bond to Mutant Turtles.

In Ninja John Man goes in search of the truth.  In the journey to the heartleand of the ninjas he takes us through their origins over 1000 years ago through their heydey in Japan’s civil war to World War Two and the real “last of the ninjas’ Hiroo Onoda who held out in the Philippine jungle for thirty years.
