I guess as a teaser the author was a British POW of the Japanese in WW2 and bases his ideas of samurai era Japan on crazy Imperial Japanese propoganda of what it was like so its racist and harrowing as hell but also oddly respectful cause he treats the idea with awe and respect and it's just super epic and adventurous. One of my favorite books of all time.
