I'm not sure which part of this listing for Samurai Confidential at ThinkGeek is for real, and which part is joking. Anybody know?
A history of the samurai.
Once upon a time, alien spacecraft crash landed here on Earth. The aliens gave weapons to the dinosaurs and then blasted them with space rays. And lo! the first samurai were born. Ok, so you know that's not true. But do you know the real history of the samurai? If you buy a copy of Samurai Confidential you will. With pictures!
Acclaimed storyteller and manga artist Ryuto Kanzaki makes her English-language debut with Samurai Confidential, a sweeping pictorial that showcases the private, often complex lives of Japan's most famous samurai warriors. More than just a lavish picture book, though, Samurai Confidential is rich with nuggets of information not normally found in mainstream history books. From the Tokugawa shogunate to the final days of Edo, from Kenshin to Ieyasu to Musashi, Samurai Confidential has all the bushi bases covered.
