John Man is a historian and travel writer with a special interest in Japan and China. His books have been published in over twenty languages. His previous books include Samurai, The Great Wall, Xanadu, Attila and the bestselling Genghis Khan.
His ability to put us in the picture, to feel, smell and almost touch the surroundings he describes is matched by his ability to tell a good story. * Michael Palin * One couldn't wish for a better storyteller or analyst than John Man * Simon Sebag Montefiore * An immensely entertaining history, packed with splendidly blood-thirsty tales. -- PD Smith * Guardian * Ninja is a racy popular history of a difficult and often mythologised subject and should appeal to the armchair warrior in us all. * Literary Review * Man's wry humour and treks through Japan's mountains, valleys, temples and shrines adds a vivid and personable dimension to his questing spirit - so much so, you can imagine this being a terrific television series. * Metro *
