Description

Explore the transformation of a nation with A Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present. This second edition by Oxford University Press provides a detailed look at the last two centuries of Japanese history.

Author Andrew Gordon provides a high-quality synthesis of Japan's past, making it an excellent resource for students and history enthusiasts alike.
