Warrior. Samurai. Legend.“A readable, compassionate account of an extraordinary life.” —The Washington PostThe remarkable life of history’s first foreign-born samurai, and his astonishing journey from Northeast Africa to the heights of Japanese society.When Yasuke arrived in Japan in the late 1500s, he had already traveled much of the known world. Kidnapped as a child, he had ended up a servant and bodyguard to the head of the Jesuits in Asia, with whom he traversed India and China learning multiple languages as he went. His arrival in Kyoto, however, literally caused a riot. Most Japanese people had never seen an African man before, and many of them saw him as the embodiment of the black-skinned (in local tradition) Buddha. Among those who were drawn to his presence was Lord Nobunaga, head of the most powerful clan in Japan, who made Yasuke a samurai in his court. Soon, he was learning the traditions of Japan’s martial arts and ascending the upper echelons of Japanese society.In the four hundred years since, Yasuke has been known in Japan largely as a legendary, perhaps mythical figure. Now African Samurai presents the never-before-told biography of this unique figure of the sixteenth century, one whose travels between countries, cultures and classes offers a new perspective on race in world history and a vivid portrait of life in medieval Japan.

I thought I would write a quick review as a warning to anyone who thinks this may be a historical book and not essentially a novel. There are not footnotes leading to sources for any of the ideas presented in the book, which is necessary for any book of history. This book is written exactly like a novel, complete with what the weather was like and what the characters said. The opening scene is even 100% fiction, made to seem like a Kurosawa film. The authors make it known that there is little verifiable information about their subject so they clearly just filled in the details with their own ideas. If you’re looking for a book about a real individual, steer clear of this one. If you’re looking for a samurai novel, maybe you will enjoy it. Nothing true about this “true” story.
