Synopsis
In a rare combination of comprehensive coverage and sustained critical focus, this book examines Japanese history in its entirety to identify the factors underlying the nation's progression to superpower status. Japan's achievement is explained not merely in economic terms, but at a more fundamental level, as a product of historical patterns of response to circumstance. Japan is shown to be a nation historically impelled by a pragmatic determination to succeed. The book also highlights unresolved questions and little-known facts., Japan's impact on the modern world is enormous. It occupies just one 300th of the planet's land area, yet wields one sixth of the world's economic power. Just 150 years ago it was an obscure land of paddy fields and feudal despots. Within 50 years it became a major imperial power - its first 'miracle'. At the end of the Second World War it came close to annihilation, suffering nuclear attack and defeat. Many wanted the entire Japanese race exterminated. Yet Japan not only survived, it became an economic superpower - its second 'miracle'. True miracles have no explanation. Japan's 'miracles' do. Its achievements are partly due to luck, but owe much to the way the nation responds to circumstance. Its responses are based on values and practices often deep-rooted in its history. To understand fully Japan's achievements, it is vital to examine that history. That is exactly what A History of Japan does.
