520    This book  explores the reality of warrior behavior versus
       the idealistic depiction created for an Edwardian audience
       by the author of Bushido: The Soul of Japan. He reveals 
       the truth of how the samurai really behaved and of what 
       they considered to be a warrior ethos. He replaces the 
       image of the perfect eastern warrior with the much more 
       interesting reality of hardened, bloodstained military 
       leaders with human failings and a complex set of ideas 
       about the world, who engage in ritual, magic and ceremony,
       who lead their followers in war and peace and who, above 
       all, are fighting a battle between addiction to power and 
       morality. This is the story of bushido, the way of the 
       samurai.
