The history of German medicine has undergone intense scrutiny
because of its indelible connection to Nazi crimes. What is less
well known is that Meiji Japan adopted German medicine as its
official model in 1869. In Doctors of Empire, Hoi-eun Kim recounts
the story of the almost 1,200 Japanese medical students who rushed
to German universities to learn cutting-edge knowledge from the
world leaders in medicine, and of the dozen German physicians who
were invited to Japan to transform the country's medical
institutions and education. Shifting fluently between German,
English, and Japanese sources, Kim's book uses the colourful lives
of these men to examine the impact of German medicine in Japan from
its arrival to the pinnacle of its influence and its abrupt but
temporary collapse at the outbreak of the First World War.
Transnational history at its finest, Doctors of Empire not only
illuminates the German origins of modern medical science in Japan
but also reinterprets the nature of German imperialism in East
Asia.
