Cambridge History of Japan The Twentieth Century

One of the major transformations in world history during the twentieth century has been the slow shift of world economic and political power from the Atlantic to the Pacific Rim. Japan has played a key role in spurring this transformation. The country's rise to a position of international prominence has not been a smooth process, however - it has come only after a period of turmoil and conflict. Volume 6 of The Cambridge History of Japan provides a general introduction to Japan's history during the first three quarters of the twentieth century, with emphasis on political, economic, social and intellectual trends.Duus, Peter is the author of 'Cambridge History of Japan The Twentieth Century' with ISBN 9780521223577 and ISBN 0521223571.
