reviewed Partners for Democracy: Crafting the New Japanese State under MacArthur on January 27, 2016
Partners for Democracy
Although the book isn't as in-depth as I'd like it to be, it is a serviceable overview of the political, economic, and sociocultural development of Japan in the years following World War II. Hane has a tendency to offer simple numbers/raw data rather than interpretation, but she does an impressive job in presenting 50 years of history in a single,manageable volume.
