The stunning new book from Christopher Ross, "Sunday Times" top 10 bestselling author of "Tunnel Visions." On 25th November 1970, the Japanese writer Yukio Mishima, in one last piece of theatre of a peculiar life, plunged a knife into his tightly muscled belly and stretched out his neck so that his friend Morita might cut off his head with a Samurai sword. His death, an act in the frontline of the spirit, has been interpreted as many things: a desire for heroism; an attempt at a form of beauty; a protest against an emasculated post-war Japan; the ultimate demonstration of sincerity; the performance of a madman. So who exactly was Mishima, why did he offer himself up? And what happened to that sword? Christopher Ross's own life overlaps with Mishima's: they were both weedy and picked on at school, both harbour a fascination with martial arts and the relationship between the body and the mind.

These legendary figures were not just soldiers; they were also guardians of ancient traditions and pivotal players in the shaping of Japan's history. From the tumultuous periods of civil wars to the establishment of long-lasting peace, the samurai were at the heart of it all, their swords writing the stories that would define a nation. At the core of the samurai's existence was Bushido, the way of the warrior, a strict ethical code that emphasized virtues such as loyalty, honor, and courage. Bushido was more than just a set of rules for combat; it was a way of life, guiding every decision and action a samurai made. This code of honor helped shape not only the individual warrior but also the broader Japanese culture, leaving a legacy that continues to influence modern society. Join us as we delve into the lives of 10 famous samurai who not only mastered the art of war but also embodied the spirit of Bushido, each in their unique way. From the strategic genius of Tokugawa Ieyasu to the fearless valor of Tomoe Gozen, these warriors' tales of bravery, strategy, and sacrifice offer a fascinating glimpse into the samurai's world and their indelible mark on Japan's destiny.
