The Ninja were the secret agents and assassins of feudal Japan and they remain a subject of enduring fascination. They first arose during the power struggles of 9th and 10th century Japan - where they catered for an increasing demand for spies, informants and assassins - and were used until the mid-1600s when, due to a campaign to destroy them, they disappeared. This title provides an accurate and detailed account of the reality of the ninja, detailing their daily file, training, hiring, combat use and secret operations: also covered are the Ninja`s use and knowledge of poisons, medicines and charms.
