5.0 out of 5 stars Comment by the author
The comment made above is fair in the sense that the book is designed for undergraduates rather that high school children. It is supposed that students would know at least the outlines of the main events in Japanese history.

2.0 out of 5 stars The social emphasis is good but the prose is a dit dry.
As a high school teacher of Modern Asian Studies, I attempted to use this book in my classroom. It was not a good book for high school students nor for myself. I found the information interesting but it was bogged down in details. Without prior knowledge of the political and economic events, it may be difficult to follow.
