BOOK: Ninjutsu, The Art of Invisibility

By Donn F. Draeger

Master of espionage and assassination, stealth and concealment, the ninja's ability to move swiftly and silently - and to strike with deadly force, seemingly at will - gave rise to the popular legends of amazing exploits, invincibility, and supernatural powers.  In this book, Donn Draeger draws back the veil of mystery shrouding the arcane practices of feudal Japan's shadow warriors.  Stripping away the myth and exaggeration, Draeger reveals the secret tactics, exotic weapons, tricks, and disguises that earned the ninja a reputation as history's most feared secret agents.  Softcover. 128 pg.
