Has anyone read this book?

I'm thinking of buying this book and wanted to know if anyone has read it and what they thought.

I haven't read it, but I do know that Gozo Shioda was the founder of Yoshinkan Aikido, which is one of the pre-war styles of Aikido.
Good to see you back Budo NJ!

Same here. Another good book that I read recently was "Aikido and the harmony of nature" by Mitsugi Saotomi. Being a proponent of a style of aikido that is very light on the spiritual side of the art I found this one to be very enlightening.

It is a highly recommended book and a must buy for me.
