Japan: The Burden of Success

Opening a rare glimpse into the substantial French study of Japan, Bouissou summarizes Japanese history from the end of World War II to the new century, argues for a multi-pronged approach to studying the country, and tries to mitigate the ideological prejudices that he says have permeated too many books about Japan. No date or publisher is noted for Japon depuis 1945. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
