Review:
"If the busy American can...read only one book on Japan, this is the one..." --Kenneth Scott Latourette, Saturday Review
"[Mr. Gibney] brings much understanding, objectivity, warmth and humor.". . . --Elizabeth Gray Vining, New York Times Book Review
"...the scholar will not know, and therefore will find it more difficult to recreate, what it was really like at the time, how places looked and smelled, how people felt, and what they didn’t know. There is nothing to compare with being there." --Timothy Garton Ash, author
