Book Reviews of Ninja AD 1460-1650 (Warrior)
Book Review: Informative book
Summary: 4 Stars
As usual with Stephen Turnbull this is quite an informative book. I have always like the Osprey military books for their content and quality and this one is no exception. One thing I liked about the book is that Turnebull points out that some Ninja were of Samurai decent. Not a seperate caste in some cases. One important thing Turnbull does in this book is to dispell the mythology and superhuman aspects that surround Ninja that some people have been exposed to by watching movies or reading comic books or questionable magazine articles. As always there is great artwork in the book which is one of my favorite aspects of Osprey books. For anyone curious about the Ninja I would recommend this book. As with all Osprey books I feel the cover price is somewhat too high but even so is a worthy book in my opinion.
