A persuasive, well balanced, and readable history that makes an important contribution to understanding not only prewar and wartime Japanese militarism but also its residues since the war. Akira Iriye, author of Power and Culture: The Japanese-American War, 1941-1945 ""A sweeping survey, written in a forceful yet simple style, that will become the standard reference work in English for years to come."" Theodore F. Cook, coauthor of Japan at War: An Oral History ""Drea deserves his place as the chronicler and analyst of one of the most feared military forces of modern times."" Mark R. Peattie, author of Sunburst: The Rise of Japanese Naval Air Power
