Bushido examines the metaphor of the Warrior as it appears in human culture both historically and in the stories, philosophies and religions of mankind, drawing heavily upon the stoic martial philosophy of Feudal Japan and on the Judeo-Christian principles which have shaped the West. It is the author's hope that this work will convey a message of self-reliance, strength and peace that our world so desperately needs. # About the Author Mark Edward Cody began training in the martial arts in 1981.
