 A College Textbook November 24, 2007
2 out of 2 found this review helpful
I mistakenly didn't realise that this is a college textbook. It also reads like a college textbook on Japanese history. As a matter of fact it feels like I am studying! Anyway, a fine book but be warned, it's like taking Modern Japanese History 101.
 Very Concise and Detailed Account of Modern Japan February 19, 2004
4 out of 4 found this review helpful
If you're looking for a book that gives concise and practical information about modern Japan...in an easy-to-understand format...then this is definitely the book for you. There is no way that you can go wrong with a book like this. Why? Not only is the content full and easy to digest (just what students need!), there is also a neutral voice in terms of narration. I find that there is no presence of bias within these pages- which is another thing that is vital when learning. There are many details from which the reader can formulate a mental picture of the circumstances and motives that have contributed to Japan's history. And get this! Ther's a webpage. The webpage is filled with study questions and historical documents (ex. Japan's Constitution- a must have) to keep the interactive student happy. What else? Plenty of pictures in the book. Black and white, but perfect. They all capture the important times for Japan. Also a wonderful exterior and interior book design. Chapters 15-20 pages long. Also, chapters have subcategories so you know what you're reading about. Anything else needed besides you? A MUST BUY!
