An extremely dense, generally unpleasant read when forced to read a chapter a week multiple times. There were some very important parts of Japanese history that were left out, but I'll be generous and only cut one star for that since covering the entire history of modern Japan in less than 400 pages is a tough task.
A thorough well written book on Japan from Tokugawa Shogunate until 1990s. I think I was surprised by the amount of change in Japan from 1860's - 1880's. Japan transformed from Feudal state into Modern nation.
This is an academic book. I would recommend this book to anyone who is interested in gaining an outline of Japan.
