Reseña del editor:
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.

It began in 1926, at a time of conflict between liberal political and cultural forces at home and military expansion abroad; at its end, more than sixty years later, japan faced another turning point as it grappled with economic crises and a reevaluation of its role in the world . Along the way, the nation and its people had experienced all the extremes that characterized this tumultuous century: growth, imperialism, economic depression, war, defeat, poverty, occupation, internal struggle, and finally prosperity and peace. The story is a dramatic one, with a fascinating cast of characters. In this volume, it is told by one of japan's most respected economists and historians. Takafusa Nakamura, an almost exact contemporary of the Showa emperor, brings alive not only the events and historical forces that shaped the century, but the effect they had on ordinary citizens. Decade by decade, he describes the way japan looked and felt, not only to the rest of the world but to itself. He discusses not only the political and economic forces that shaped japan's history but also the intellectual and cultural background against which historical events took place. Especially valuable for its dispassionate and detailed look at the prewar period ~ the years from 1926 to the beginning of war with the United States in 1941, Professor Nakamura's look at the Showa years brings a new and valuable perspective to the history of the twentieth century. This graceful translation makes his landmark work available to an international audience, with a new chapter on japan after the Showa years, as it faces the dawn of a new century.
