Historical perspective
History books can often be a bit boring, but that is not true with the History or the Schools of the Bujinkan. Do yourself a favor and grab this book and take a quick trip through the history of the various Bujinkan ryu.

Recommended for those who want blackbelt and more
I think it's a good book to gain in-depth insight on. History is nice to be pragmatic. With a recollection of the history of Japan in mind, it's nice to expand on the collection of history in Japan. Like other world powers, where history is re-wrote to account for how the owners of history writing see it this too is good to gain an insight on how to correlate timelines with the samurai.
