"Perfect for travelers or students…A wonderfully fun, interesting, and informative introduction to Japanese history. Clements blends culture, politics, military, economics…all with a wit and humor that carry the narrative forward and make it real." ―Mark Zachary Taylor, author of The Politics of Innovation
"With a lightness of touch but seriousness of purpose, Clements negotiates the complexities of Japanese history in this compact book. The result is an accessible, persuasive and reliable introduction." ―Ellis Tinios, Lecturer in East Asian History, University of Leeds
"Writing a brief history of a land as ancient and complicated as Japan is no easy task…Luckily, with Jonathan Clements, readers are in the hands of a master. His crackling prose, sharp wit, and learned insights make Japan's history truly come alive." ―Frederik L. Schodt, author of America and the Four Japans: Friend, Foe, Model, Mirror
Contraportada
