An encyclopedia article titled "The Life of Samurai Warriors."
Reason: Lucy needs a clear, reliable overview and starting points for further research. An encyclopedia article will give a focused summary of samurai history, key terms, people, and events, and typically lists sources/references she can follow up on. A college textbook is useful too but covers all of Japan and may be broader than she needs for an initial orientation.
