Tasked with impersonating powerful leaders to protect them from assassination or preserve the illusion of control, the kagemusha became a living mask, navigating the boundary between truth and performance. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThis book explores the forgotten art and enduring relevance of that role. Blending history, military strategy, psychology, and philosophy, \u003ci\u003eKagemusha: Strategy, Identity, and the Art of Controlled Perception\u003c\/i\u003e uncovers how the techniques of ancient decoys continue to shape modern leadership, warfare, and social engineering. From the battlefield of Takeda Shingen to the political optics of today's power structures, this is a deep meditation on identity, presence, and the power of the unseen. In a world saturated with visibility and noise, the silent strategies of the shadow warrior may be more vital than ever.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Fernan Vargas,Samuel Franco\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9798289901668\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Independently Published\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/27\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 108\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.34lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.00h x 6.00w x 0.22d","brand":"Fernan Vargas","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48997011783935,"sku":"9798289901668","price":14.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/kagemusha-fernan-vargas-9798289901668","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
