Japan, A Reinterpretation

Japan, A Reinterpretation

by Patrick Smith

  • CULTURAL PORTRAIT
  • 1998
  • PAPER
  • 400 PAGES

Informed by the author's experience as a journalist in Asia and wide-ranging research, this provocative book tears down the image of Japan as a nation of conservative workaholics. It's a thoughtful, stimulating look at the country since World War II, targeting the role of the U.S. in creating modern Japan. Highly recommended.  (JPN16, $15.95)
