4.0 out of 5 stars "Fukoku Kyohei!", June 24, 2001
By 
Aaron Larsen (Harrisburg, Pennsylvania United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: "Rich Nation, Strong Army": National Security and the Technological Transformation of Japan (Cornell Studies in Political Economy) (Paperback)
Want to find out about the military-industrial complex in Japan and find out about the ideological underpinnings below it? This is the place to start. Then start researchng the Meiji Restoration, where it all began. I didn't give this book 5 stars, mainly because it seemed rather weak on the Meiji underpinnings of Japanese techno-nationalism to me. Then again, I'm working on a thesis on the ideology of the Meiji Restoration, (and am hence deperately seeking any available source on the topic) so maybe I'm a little less than objective on the matter. If your interests are more modern (particularly postwar) then this is the book for you!
