5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent History, June 7, 2005
This review is from: Modern Japan (Paperback)
Duus did an excellent job in writing this book about Japanese History. It is divided into 4 sections: The Fall of Tokugawa Order 1800-1868, The Pursuit of Wealth and Power 1868-1905, Political Change Crisis & War 1905-1945, and Peace Prosperity and Stability 1945-Present. This is a well written, well sourced book with a suffiecient quantity of quality figures and pictures. The only complaint about this book is how Duus overlooked much of the war atrocities committed by the Japanese during WW2, but does give us an excellent view of the war from the civilian populace.
