This illuminating study explores the ways in which the shattering defeat of the Japanese in World War II, followed by over six years of American military occupation, affected every level of Japanese society. The author describes the countless ways in which the Japanese met the challenge of "starting over", from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes, fears, and activities of ordinary men and women in every walk of life.

Informative and interesting

Pro:
As and American who studies much of the second world war, I find it very interesting and refreshing to hear and read information from other perspectives, especially the Japanese. this title delves into the social and economic changes and challenges that Japan faced after the war, during occupation. Truly fascinating.
Con:
The narration is okay, but just okay.
There is no delay between chapters, so the start and finish of each one becomes a run-on sentence. It is quite disorientating.
The author likes to frequently and frustratingly use many French descriptors in this English title. I like using such terms when necessary, but the frequency and need is questionable at best. I feel using an English term would be more descriptive and understandable to the audience in a historical title.
