Summary MILITARY HISTORY. Cleave the wisdom passed down from a 16th century sword saint. Great for generals and spiritualists alike. The writer, Miyamoto Musashi, was a sword saint in Japan in the 1500s that became so skilled with a blade he reached enlightenment. Musashi goes through the five main philosophies of a master swordsman and then shows how these philosophies mirror the way we can attain peace off the battlefield.
