Modern Ninja Warfare takes a contemporary look at the stealthy
methods of the Ninja (Shinobi).
Ninja historian Antony Cummins, himself a skilled martial artist, takes
a detailed and realistic look at the Ninja, their methods and their role
in the medieval Japanese military, as well as how they compare to
today's Special Forces and covert military groups. Cummins collected
information from members of Special Ops, police forces, CIA and more
about the techniques they use in the twenty-first century, and compares
it against his extensive knowledge and research of historical ninjutsu
methods.
Readers will get a detailed look at the defensive strategies, engagement
against specific threats, intelligence gathering, territorial concerns,
mental focus and the spiritual mind-control techniques of these
invisible warriors--both of the past and present.
With over 100 striking illustrations that vividly portray the Ninjas'
secret world, this book shines new light on their shadowy methods. In
the process, the mythical image of the Ninja is washed away revealing
the reality of these commando-spies of medieval Japan.
