Fascinating

Kinda cool: This book is an interesting overview of all weapons ninja including sickles, staffs, canes, pole arms, articulated weapons, grapnels, maces, spikes, cleats, claws, swords, shurikens, pyrotechnics, and even firearms. The text is quick and easy to read and the pictures are excellent. The insight into stealth and invisible weapons is great. This isn't a "how to" book, but even if it was you could never "master" any of these items from the few pages that could be devoted to each one. You will certainly learn a bit about each weapon's history and how they are used. It's a really fascinating read.
