"In whatever field, the Way of the Warrior will allow you to excel."The complete English translation of the 1643 Japanese manuscript The Book Of Five Rings and Dokkodo by Miyamoto Musashi (1584 - 1645) is the definitive handbook on timeless ancient principles on achieving victory at any cost. Divided into five scrolls, each focusing on a different aspect of samurai swordplay and principles, this new translation clears away the fog on Musashi's cryptic writings and gives the reader a brand-new, clear view of the warrior's lasting wisdom.
