Democracy and the Eastern Question (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 4 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book explores the historical and socio-political climate of Imperial Japan to shed light on the West's profound misunderstanding of the country. The author argues that the West, accepting Japan's self-constructed image, failed to recognize its true nature. The book examines the Imperial lineage, the rise of military institutions, and the evolution of political power in Japan. It draws parallels between Japan and Germany, particularly in the notion of divinely ordained leadership, revealing the true and hidden forces at play that sparked conflicts and the pursuit of military expansion. The author concludes that the West, by adhering to a fictionalized and idealized view of Japan, underestimated the nation's ambitions and overlooked the threat it posed, leading to catastrophic consequences.
