A little about the book
Miyamoto Musashi was a legendary Japanese swordsman who, near the end of his life, retreated to a cave and wrote down his philosophy of combat and strategy.
In five short books, named Earth, Water, Fire, Wind and Void, he explains how to defeat an opponent. His advice has since been applied to business, sport and life.
