Average Customer Rating: 4.71 (7 reviews)
Rating: 5
Summary: Absolutely facinating to students of Japanese History
Comment: I could not put this book down once I started reading it. Anyone looking for details from the end of the Edo era through the Allied Occupation follwing WWII will not be able to find a better book than this.
Rating: 4
Summary: The work of a liftetime. . .
Comment: And for most, reading it may take a lifetime. But that might not be a bad thing.
This book has two strong points: first, it is remarkably all-inclusive - the work of a master historian; second, it is inexpensive for such a massive tome.
Jansen crafts a decent narrative, but the writing itself is sometimes plodding and only the most tenacious reader will be able to navigate all 765 pages.
Which means that this is an excellent book for researchers and budding Japan specialists. It is probably the best condensed history that covers this massive a timeframe.
But for the casual reader this book can at best be read over the years, chunk by chunk only as inspiration strikes.
Rating: 5
Summary: very good
Comment: this was a very good imformative book that was still easy to read, and was well organized
