Summary
Spanning the 130-year period between the end of the Tokugawa Era and the end of the Cold War, this book introduces readers to the formation, collapse, and rebirth of the modern Japanese state. It demonstrates how, faced with foreign threats, Japan developed a new governing structure to deal with these challenges and in turn gradually shaped its international environment.--adapted from publisher's description.
