The Ninja were the medieval equivalent of the SAS; the original men in black. They were Japan's spies, assassins, saboteurs and secret agents - and the subject of countless legends. But they were also real. Could they fly? Could they make themselves invisible? Of course not. But they did have remarkable skills in climbing, deception, disguise and camouflage - some of whiich are still practiced by those who study Ninja techniques today,
In Ninja John Man goes in search of the true history behind the myths and legends. He takes us on a journey from their birth during a civil war in 15th Century Japan right up to the modern-day, where at the month-long Ninja festival in Iga we meet the self-declared 'last Ninja'.
