Summary: Good overview of Japanese history.
Comment: I read this book last year, around the time that I read Stephen Turnbull's BATTLES OF THE SAMURAI. I found that the two books complemented on another well. I was mainly interested in Sengoku jidai (Warring States period) history, and this book provided a decent overview, while Turnbull's book provided many of the details of the period which were not mentioned in this book. JAPAN: FROM SHOGUN TO SONY serves as an ample overview of Japanese history from 1543 to 1984, although an individual seeking very in-depth coverage of a specific segment of that time period would do well to supplement this book with another book dealing specifically with the particular part of the time period in which he is most interested (i. e., Sengoku jidai, Tokugawa era, Meiji era, pre WWII era, etc.).
The terminology used in JAPAN: FROM SHOGUN TO SONY is very accessible, and the book makes for a interesting read.
Recommended.
