This important book, which many will regard as controversial,
argues convincingly that the Japanese imperialism of the first half
of the Twentieth Century was not a temporary aberration. The author
looks at the detail of the great crisis of 1873 and shows that the
prospect of economic gain through overseas expansion was the
central issue of that year's political struggles. He goes on to
show that Japan had a long, earlier history of aiming for economic
expansion overseas; and that Japan's Twentieth Century imperialism
grew out of this. In addition, he argues convincingly that much of
the writing about Japan has played down the true extent and nature
of Japanese imperialism.
