'The organization and brisk style should extend the appeal of the book beyond historians to a wide range of students in social science courses.'
The Times Educational Supplement
An understanding of her recent history is crucial to any effective working relationship with contemporary Japan. This striking new Introduction will therefore be of interest and relevance to a much wider readership than the students of history for whom it is primarily designed. In it, Janet Hunter focuses on the years of 1853, when the outer world broke through Japan's long-standing self-imposed isolation, to 1952, when the postwar settlement and economic recovery set her family on the road to her present status as an economic superpower.
