Chosu on Choshu!,
By Aaron Larsen (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choshu in the Meiji Restoration (Studies of Modern Japan) (Paperback)
If you want to understand how Japan catapulted from being a nation of feudal swordsman to being a a world power that beat the stuffing out of Russia in just 50 years... then you need to study the Meiji Restoration. If you want to understand the Meiji Restoration... then you need to study a bit about Choshu, the fuedal principality that was most responsible for making it all happen. Craig's magisterial study is still the monograph on the subject, even today.

Choshu!,
By Aaron Larsen (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Choshu in the Meiji Restoration (Studies of Modern Japan) (Paperback)
One simply cannot begin to understand Japan without understanding this turbulent period in its history and one simply cannot being to understand this period without studying the history of a few key feudal domains that spear-headed the major changes in Japanese history. Craig's work remains the definitive one on the subject, in spite of its age.
