### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A great history of ninja
*by G***S on July 6, 2018*

If you have interest in ninja, either the historical or the ones in popular entertainment this is a book I highly recommend. Turnbull is a highly respected writer on Japan who has produced the best book on ninja I have yet to read.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Probably the most important book on the subject of ninjutsu.
*by S***G on August 1, 2018*

Could have really used this one 20 or even 40 years ago. Meticulously researched and will throw a lot of "ryuha" into even deeper legitimacy problems. With the exception of Itoh's books published in 1909 (recently published in English, translations done by Eric Shahan), which probably did more than anything else to preserve ideas of ninjutsu and some methods, Turnbulls book on ninjutsu clearly separates the "ninja myth" from "factual ninja history", and while the ninja mythology is a lot more fun it's looks a lot like the US understanding of "ninja / ninjutsu" as well as the Japanese ideas from the 1950s are almost complete fabrication.
