Summary:
"Real-life figure Miyamoto Musashi was the most celebrated samurai of all time. The quintessential warrior-philosopher, Musashi authored 'A book of five rings,' a classic treatise in the canon of world philosophy and military strategy. But the path to enlightement is an endless journey, and to get there through violent means -- by way of the sword -- makes mere survival an even greater challenge."--Cover flap.
