The Shogun’s Scroll

Stephen F. Kaufman

The Shogun's Scroll offers a look at the samurai strategies and ethics of medieval Japan distilled into language modern readers can relate to and follow.

In the tradition of The Art of War and The Book of Five Rings, this book offers timeless advice on success in war and life. Written in the voice of Hidetomo Nakadai, a late twelfth century scholar and servant in the court of Minamoto Yoritomo - the first shogun of Japan and one of the world's most ruthless generals - this treatise can be used as a guide for personal growth and motivation. The author draws on a lifetime of intimate personal experiences with the philosophy of Japanese martial arts, as well as countless historical sources to produce this profound work of docu-fiction.

It is essential reading for those interested in martial arts, samurai, military history, or Japanese history.
