The samurai were the elite warrior class of fedual Japan. They were the fiercest, bravest and most ruthless warriors the world has ever known. Samurai means in Japanese "one who serves" and they lived life by following a code of loyalty, obedience, honor, bravery, and frugality called Bushido (the way of the warrior). They were indifferent to pleasure or pain, and preferred death to shame and disgrace. Life and death had no difference to them, they considered both equally natural. Samurai would without hesitation do anything, even die, that their daimyo (fedual lord) ordered.

The world of the samurai has for too long been associated solely with military history and legend, and has remained a mystery to the general reader. This complete collection of Osprey books on the samurai period, some authored by Stephen Turnbull and others by Anthony J. Bryant, the world’s two leading authorities on the samurai, goes beyond the battlefield to paint a picture of the samurai as they really were. Familiar topics such as sepuku (ritual suicide) ritualised vengeance, and the tradition of the daisho (the two swords of the samurai) which never left a samurai's side day or night, they even slept with them, are seen in the context of an all-encompassing warrior culture that was expressed through art and poetry as much as through violence. The Osprey themed books studies the samurai through their historical development, battles fought, and their relationship to the world around them – relationships that are shown to persist in Japan even today.
