Japan Among the Powers, 1890-1990

By Sydney Giffard and Sir Sydney Giffard

This absorbing book, written by an author who lived in and studied Japan for many years, provides a fresh perspective on Japan's history, politics, and culture over the past hundred years. It traces Japan's phenomenal development into one of the world's great powers, portraying events in Japan and its rapid industrialization as they were shaped by Japanese decisionmakers rather than as they were perceived by the outside world.
