About this listen

A flashback into the past
This was a really interesting book to listen to in many ways for me personally.
I have always been involved in one martial arts or another from Karate to Aikido to Jui Jitsu and there was always a reference or two that was made to Samurai especially when I was training in Aikido.
I never knew the in depth history of the Samurai, the lifestyle they carried , the themes of life essentially that were their core back then, the changes that came along since. Very rich in historical timeline.
This was a very easy listen, flowed excellently with superb narration. If you need an hour of deep dive into the past history of Samurai, this book is your go-to for sure.
