Yoshihisa Tak Matsusaka is Associate Professor of History at Wellesley College.
Lurking behind the deceptively specialist title of this monograph
lies an important and engaging book...In the described historical
events, Japan found itself pulled deeper and deeper into a quagmire
that led to a disastrous war. Matsusaka uses a chronological
approach to examine the roles of the Foreign Ministry, the Army,
and the South Manchuria Railway. The result casts great light on a
crucial phase of Japanese imperial history while at the same time
enthralling the reader with a tale to compete with a good
novel.
