A Modern History of Japan paints a portrait of the last two centuries of Japanese history. It takes students from the days of the shogunate -- the overlordship of the Tokugawa family -- through the modernizing revolution launched by midlevel samurai in the late nineteenth century; the adoption of Western hairstyles, clothing, and military organization; and the nation's first experiments with mass democracy after World War I. Andrew Gordon offers a synthesis of Japan's passage through militarism, World War II, the American occupation, and the subsequent economic rollercoaster.
