This story of the life of Minamoto Yoshitsune is one many fiction writers might aspire to create. At a young age Yoshitsune witnessed the murder of his father and brothers, survived exile, and rose to become one of the most powerful Japanese military strategists.
Later he was betrayed by his own family, bringing an end to his meteoric rise and his life. Although a biography, the book reads like an action novel following Yoshitsune through his life and the many battles he fought. And throughout the book readers will also find tips on strategic thinking that can be applied not only on the battlefield but in everyday life.
Students who like The Art of War and action books are never disappointed by this action- packed biography!--Claudio Leon
