Reviews
$21.95. soc sci An accurate understanding of Japan is a matter of increasing urgency for all Americans, and this popular introduction by a well-informed British writer may be the best place to start. In a crisp style peppered with pungent phrases, Tasker skillfully probes Japanese society, politics, and the economy. Well-grounded in history and rich in revealing anecdotes, his book provides shrewd insights into the often contradictory essences of contemporary Japan. Well-balanced and fair-minded, the work avoids gross generalizations or sensationalism. It is more accessible to the general reader than Edwin Reischauer's The Japanese ( LJ 5/1/77) and deeper than Robert Christopher's The Japanese Mind ( LJ 4/15/83). Steven I.
