Modern Ninja Warfare: Ninja Tactics for the Modern Warrior

Interesting book! While I find myself less interested in modern equivalents to what the ninja did, I thought this gave some great insight into ways of thinking for the same kind of mindset.That said, I enjoyed the references to Sun Tzu's Art of War (which had made a big impact on Japanese warfare) and various ninja and samurai scrolls, with quotes provided. I also enjoyed the details on how spy networks work.I think those who are interested in modern equivalents would really enjoy this book. While some folks get rather disappointed at the historical ninja, in comparison to what we see in pop culture, this book does well to show the awesomeness of the historical ninja in the comparisons to what we have today.I originally received an early copy of this book for free from the publisher, and now that it has officially come out, I purchased the digital version because I believe the book is worth buying and having. Some typos, but it's fresh out and that happens. It's still a good book.

I was fortunate to read this book among the first buyers, the truth is excellent, it is very well written and based on the skills of the real Ninja and its application to the real world, to the modern world, it is an indispensable book for students of the subject Ninja, Special Forces and world of Intelligence and Espionage. This book is not about Jujitsu techniques in black clothes, it is about real Ninjutsu, it cites the sources from which it takes each reference and collapses many myths in the increasingly enlightened reality of Ninjutsu, which has been involved in many false beliefs for decades. I highly recommend it!

I think this was a really good book by Anthony Cummings. This book has awesome information about modern and ancient tactics. I was glad to buy this book. I recommend for everyone that likes Anthony Cummings books and ninjutsu AKA Shinobi.

Good read for your fellow ninja

This is another phenomenal book released by Antony Cummins! The comparison on warfare from medieval Japan and modern applications is not only interesting, but an enjoyable exploration into the evolution of combat and tactics. I highly recommend this book for anyone!

Also great for the novelist trying to get ideas for their commando characters and fight scenes. Excellent, realistic focus.

Mr Cummins does his historical due diligence in all his material. An author that should have more notoriety

Without that section I would give it 5 stars...can't recommend a book fully that may see that as a tactic to use. There are other ways to instill pyschological warfare without being that grotesque or evilFrom a historical standpoint then ok but this is a books on modern tactics...I cannot endorse that section. Again without those parts or maybe not as a book on tactics then 4 to 5 stars.

Déçus

I have a great deal of respect for this author and have purchased several of his books on shinobi or as we most likely know them today as the ninja.This book is to my mind a brief overlay of the comparisons between the military, close protection industry and subtle similarities of shinobi (were they still active in society today)Perhaps not the best book to start out with if you have never read any of his other works, it has a certain interest to it but not one of my favourites so far.If you're a fan of the author's work and enjoy his efforts to bring knowledge to the world about the truth behind the misunderstood ninja/shinobi of Japan then this is one you'll want to collect at some point or another.Very well written, clearly detailed and a quality publication.I would like to have personally had a more involved book but that's my opinion - I'm looking forward to more detailed future releases.
