Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II

85,00 

There is, possibly, no better book about contemporary Japanese history. Dower studies Japan that just lost the war and writes about the homeless, prostitution sanctioned by the government, black market, the new constitution. Dower’s efforts are of titanic proportions. He cities letters of readers, describes children’s games and the most important writers of that time recounts anecdotes about them as well. There’s a reason this book won the Pulitzer Prize in 2000. If you plan to read only one book about the 20th century Japan, let it be this one.
