Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-10-17 Summary: Swordsmanship is not a lost art ... In 1945, Bob Lee Swagger's father and Philip Yano's father met in a bunker on Iwo Jima. Only one walked out. Now, sixty years later, Philip Yano comes to America to recover the sword his father used in battle. Bob agrees to help locate the sword and return it to Philip in Japan. And thus is launched a riveting tale of betrayal, greed, and power. And behind it all is the power of an antique sword and the reverence of the samurai for swords in Japanese culture. There are many details regarding the creating of the ancient ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-12-03 Summary: Swagger as Samurai ... I just do not understand these silly critics. Honestly, I immensely like everything that Stephen Hunter has written, except the very early pre-Swagger stories. He is currently the living treasure of the thriller. Apparently there is no one as pedantic as a fiction critic. Personally, I'd say Hunter just gets better and better, but for the fact that his mid-career Point of Impact and Time To Hunt were his utter zenith, on the order of Hamlet and King Lear. And yes, the analogy to him as the Shakespeare of our generation ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | In The 47th Samurai, Bob Lee Swagger, the gritty hero of Stephen Hunter's bestselling novels Point of Impact and Time to Hunt, returns in Hunter's most intense and exotic thriller to date. Bob Lee Swagger and Philip Yano are bound together by a single moment at Iwo Jima, 1945, when their fathers, two brave fighters on opposite sides, met in the bloody and chaotic battle for the island. Only Earl Swagger survived. More than sixty years later, Yano comes to America to honor the legacy of...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-08-01 Summary: The Prince of the Far East ... If the prince is about acquiring and maintaining a position of influence (or legitimate power), bushido is about acquiring and maintaining respect (or referent power). It is common knowledge that saving face is a prized virtue in the east and this book is the code by which that virtue can be achieved and maintained. As teams become more popular in word and in deed, the timeless knowledge in this book will be indispensible to team leaders, project managers, program managers, and all of those individuals that depend ...more
[2] Rating: 4 Date: 2008-03-26 Summary: Is this about Tom Cruise? ... Maybe you've seen the movie 'The Last Samurai' starring Tom Cruise. I think this movie is a very good resemblance of samurai culture and beliefs, even though it's in a Hollywood production. So what can I do with sword-knowledge on my laptop? Wait, I'm not even going to try think this way. Being samurai is much more about living a certain way than it is about fighting. Even nowadays we cannot think the earth is without war but even a hundred years back it was part of live. When you had to choose in that age, I'd prefer ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | In eighteenth-century Japan, Tsunetomo Yamamoto created the Hagakure, a document that served as the basis for samurai warrior behavior. Its guiding principles greatly influenced the Japanese ruling class and shaped the underlying character of the Japanese psyche, from businessmen to soldiers. Bushido is the first English translation of the Hagakure . This work provides a powerful message aimed at the mind and spirit of the samurai warrior. It offers beliefs that are difficult for the Western...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 4 Date: 2009-07-24 Summary: One of Cleary's Best ... An excellent survey of samurai information and philosophy. Highly recommended to anyone wishing to learn more about the samurai. I found this book to be an excellent companion to the other edition I purchased, which was The Samurai Series.

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-10-17 Summary: Wisdom for the Warrior Lifestyle ... Training the Samurai Mind is a collection of teachings from samurai, Confucian teachers, and Taoist teachers from 1349-1865. I found the teachings in this book to be full of useful wisdom for those who are seeking to live the warrior lifestyle. Of course some of the teachings are more useful than others, but overall I really enjoyed this book. Thomas Cleary seems to have a knack for finding interesting writings and translating them so those of us in the West can benefit from the wisdom that we would otherwise not be ...more

Customer Reviews — [1] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-09-02 Summary: A Book you'll never get rid of ... If you have an interest in living by codes of conduct that are rarely seen in practice in the world around us, this is a good source to return to for reinforcement on occasion. I find it much more direct and humane than the Hagakure, and along with the Meditations of Marcus Aurelius and the Dhammapada, they are a great little library for personal reflection and moral guidance. ...more
[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2009-08-23 Summary: The Art of War for a Culture of Soldiers ... This book is an excellent introduction to the martial culture that ruled the Japanese spirit until the end of World War Two. It shines with the spirit of a true knight of the soldier's way. The spirit of prudence, discretion and balanced living is alive on every page, guiding the thoughtful reader to a deeper appreciation of the core values that made Japan an island for soldiers and by soldiers, for a number of centuries. Rather than a treatise on warful living, or dying, as I expected might be the pitfall of a culture ...more
Editorial Reviews — ... Product Description | The Code of the Samurai is a four-hundred-year-old explication of the rules and expectations embodied in Bushido, the Japanese way of the warrior. Bushido has played a major role in shaping the behavior of modern Japanese government, corporations, society, and individuals, as well as in shaping the modern martial arts within Japan and internationally. The Japanese original of this book has been one of the primary sources on the tenets of Bushido, a way of thought that remains fascinating...more

[2] Rating: 5 Date: 2008-04-29 Summary: Great Integration of the Man and his Art ... Anyone who is familiar with Musashi's reputation as a master swordsman and the many stories about his skill and bravery will enjoy this book and want to add it to their collection. This excellent and well researched (as much as is possible about events in c. 1600AD) presents biographical information in an interesting timeline that includes all of Musashi's major duels, battles and teaching engagements while including additional material on his artistic and writing accomplishments. Musashi evidently was a true renaissance ...more
