I had the pleasure of reviewing two excellent books over the last few months. Both reviews are now available. As you’ll see, I thoroughly enjoyed both books, not only for the new lenses on modern Japanese history, but also because they offer fun material for the undergraduate/graduate classroom. Highly recommend.
