Japan Story: In Search of a Nation, 1850 to the Present

Reviews

The Japanese and their history is fascinating and the country is becoming more and more popular as is its history. It begins in the 1850`s right up to present day, I am really enjoying reading about the culture and changing times, Bud-ism, spiritualism,gangs, families and much to much to be able to list it all.

When it arrived and I realised how much reading there is I was a little daunted, but once I started I just carried on and I am really enjoying it. My interest began when my son married a Japanese girl and since visiting several times I just want to learn more. This is a fascinating factual book. I have been given a pre- sale proof copy to review so I cannot comment on the finished look of the completed book, I have a paper-back with intermittent black and white sketch type pictures, the finished copy when on sale is a hard -backed book and hopefully for the price coloured pictures.

This book is a wealth of knowledge, and is well written making it an easy read. There is a lot of reading so this is not a book to finish overnight. .
