reviewed Autumn Lightning: The Education of an American Samurai on March 04, 2018
Autumn Lightning
This is a great summary of Japanese samurai history through a specific martial arts style lens. Plus, what a great character development of Dave himself. It's books like this that remind me why I love bushido - the personal development inherent in it are extraordinary.
I was most surprised to learn it was written in 1985 - felt like it could have been at any time. (That said, Dave's childhood is clearly explained, it's just that the book/experience is sort of timeless.)
