The Meiji Restoration of mid-nineteenth-century Japan was the
outgrowth of upheaval as vital as the American Civil War or the
French Revolution, and marked the beginnings of Japan as a
forward-looking, unified state. The author tells the story of this
crucial period of Japanese history through the career of a national
hero, Sakamoto Ryoma, with Sakamoto as a symbol of Japan's
enlightened growth. Originally published in 1961. The Princeton
Legacy Library uses the latest print-on-demand technology to again
make available previously out-of-print books from the distinguished
backlist of Princeton University Press. These editions preserve the
original texts of these important books while presenting them in
durable paperback and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton
Legacy Library is to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly
heritage found in the thousands of books published by Princeton
University Press since its founding in 1905.
