About this ebook
The Ninja were the secret agents and assassins of feudal Japan and they remain a subject of enduring fascination.

This title provides an accurate and detailed account of the reality of the Ninja, detailing their daily life, training, hiring, combat use and secret operations; also covered are the Ninja's use and knowledge of poisons, medicines and charms.
