{"product_id":"2940149582280","title":"Musashi's Book of Five Rings: A Military Scientific Explanation Made Easy for Modern Martial Arts","description":"As a samurai, warrior, and soldier, Miyamoto Musashi viewed sword fighting as a study in strategy and tactics, thinking of the quickest way to defeat the enemy. War strategy is a zero-sum game. He wins who can ably apply his understanding of strategy to enhance his tactics, and his opponent loses. As much as we would like to view it as a book about self-actualization or the achievement of business aims, the Book of Five Rings is primarily a military treatise, written by a man who understood the brutality of war and the necessity to take a fight to the finish. This brief study explains Musashi's famous text with an eye toward the pragmatism of scientific principles, made easy for modern martial arts.","brand":"Martina Sprague","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47068071526640,"sku":"2940149582280","price":4.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940149582280_p0.jpg?v=1763719580","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940149582280","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
