Book excerpt: In addition to providing excerpts from classic tales of Japan's warrior past, this volume draws on a wide range of lesser-known but revealing sources--including sword inscriptions, edicts, orders, petitions, and letters--to expand and deepen our understanding of the samurai, from the order's origins in the fifth century to its abolition in the nineteenth. Taken together with Thomas Donald Conlan's contextualizing introductions and notes, these sources provide a rare window into the experiences, ideals, and daily lives of these now-sentimentalized warriors. Numerous illustrations, a glossary of terms, and a substantial bibliography further enhance the value of this book to students, scholars, and anyone interested in learning more about the samurai.
