The reign of Emperor Hirohito - the Showa era - is synonymous with the history of 20th-century Japan. That history is told here by one of Japan's most respected economists and historians. Takafusa Nakamura, examines the events and historical forces that shaped the century and the effects they had on ordinary citizens. Decade by decade, he surveys Japanese life, as it was lived and perceived both by the Japanese and by the rest of the world. Especially valuable for its detailed look at the pre-war years, this book brings what should be a useful perspective to the history of the 20th century. Included is a chapter on Japan after the Showa years on the eve of a new century
