PRINTER FRIENDLY VERSION
Escaping a predictable dull march through the centuries, this lively book turns out to be an outstanding (and concise) narrative history of Japan -- including politics, economy, literature and the arts. It is an excellent introduction to Japan and its transformation from its Shinto, Shogun and Samurai traditions to 20th-century powerhouse.
