The inspiration for the Jedi knights of Star Wars and the films of Akira Kurosawa, the legendary Japanese samurai have captured modern imaginations. 

Yet with these elite warriors who were bound by a code of honor called Bushido—the Way of the Warrior—the reality behind the myth proves more fascinating than any fiction. 

A History of Samurai provides a unique and captivating look at their true history, told through the life of one man: Saigo Takamori, known to many as "the last samurai." 

In 1877 Takamori led a rebel army of samurai in a heroic "last stand" against the Imperial Japanese Army, who sought to end the "way of the sword" in favor of firearms and modern warfare. 

Man's thrilling narrative brings to life the hidden world of the samurai as never before.
