LA Times Book Award winner and expert on the past and present Japan, Ian Buruma examines the transformation of a country. Following Japan's history from its opening to the West in 1853 to its hosting of the 1964 Olympics, Buruma focuses on how figures such as Commodore Matthew Perry, Douglas MacArthur, and Emperor Mitsushito helped shape this complex country.©2002 Ian Buruma (P)2002 Recorded Books Asia Japón Militar Moderna Mundial Siglo XIX Socialismo Autodeterminación China Japón imperial Imperialismo Rusia Unión Soviética Justicia social Capitalismo Periodo de entreguerras Historia antigua Guerra Modern Japan

Would you listen to Inventing Japan [Modern Library Chronicles] again? Why?

Maybe

Any additional comments?

I guess, I am not a fan of these kind of fast-paced overviews of the historical events: too many names, too much information. Not much left in my head after the listen.

I learned a great deal, about many things that most Americans do not know. I would be very interested, in a follow-up book, on Japan, from the same author, about the more than two decades, since this book was written, in 2002.

I could have used this audiobook a couple years ago when I took Japanese Politics in college. This covered all of the important developments, social phenomena, etc., that went into the making of modern Japan. The chronology starts at the end of the Tokugawa shogunate and describes clearly the Meiji Restoration, Taisho Democracy, Showa and the militarist war government so that you get a very good sense of how one period flowed into the next to make Japan what it is today -- essentially a one-party corporate state managed by the LDP. The roles of left and right radicals, gangsters, fixers and the American occupation authorities are all discussed. If I'd had this in school, I could have gotten an A+.

Excellent Primer on Modern Japan
