Drawing on historical Japanese scrolls, this manual offers a unique insight into the skills and techniques used by these skilled spy-commandos. Contrary to popular Hollywood clichés, the reality of being a ninja is far more complex and intriguing.

From wearing 'silent sandals' to faking passes and passwords, this manual provides a comprehensive guide to the art of ninjutsu. With its unique blend of history, strategy, and practical advice, this book is an ideal resource for anyone interested in martial arts, sports, or military history.
