Having read a pretty good overall history of Japan, I wanted to find another book that briefly covers its entire timeline as a review. This book does not do the job well. The writing style is extremely dry and the author often uses double negatives or run on sentences. It's like reading a graduate dissertation. The content is also very lacking. Mason zooms past sections without providing enough history, or gives some small topics way too much focus. For example, he has pages devoted to Nara poems (just the translated poems) which he doesn't explain the significance of, but barely mentions the Tale of Genji. There's also many sections where he fails to impress the importance of the topic because of the convoluted style he writes in. Concepts that can be easily explained in a paragraph are dragged out for pages, it all feels a bit elitist. For a not as dry, compact, informative, and CONCISE overview, I suggest Kenneth G. Henshall's A History of Japan.

Let me first start out by saying that I greatly enjoyed this book, and I would recommend it to anyone that is interested in a thorough understanding of Japanese history.The book deals with its subject in a chronological order, with an emphasis on important people and events. These highlights are in turn fleshed out by a comprehensive analysis of what historians consider to be the underlying causes for change. In addition, a running commentary is made on the intelectual and cultural developments of each periode, particularly within Buddhism, which facilitated change. All of this is presented in a compressed yet accessible style, leaving the reader not only with a clear understanding of what happened, but also why it happened. Anecdotes and excerpts from novels and plays also give the text a colourful and enjoyable feel.So why just three stars?While the book is incredibly detailed when it comes to Japan’s internal history, the history of its colonial empire and actions during the Pacific war are purposfully vague. Korea, at the time of the invasion, is refered to as a ‘backwards country’, and the worst thing the Japanese did during World War Two was appearantly forcing older Indonesians to use Japanese Standard time rather than local time. Indeed, the author flat out refers to the execution of Japanese war criminals as a ‘dubious arraignment’. These things runs contrary to all other records of the era.Japan’s history is more than the Pacific War. To focus unduly on its actions during that war would give a slanted view of its history, but so does ignoring them outright. For all its merit, this book whitewashes a difficult time in human history, and that makes it a bad history book, no matter how well written it otherwise is.

Note: The context of my reading of this book was in that of a class room setting, so some information may have been made more clear after lecture and not because of the book itself.In "A History of Japan: Revised Edition" the whole of a. Japan's history is covered up to the 1950s. From the original historical references of ancient Chinese scribes to the imperial documents of the Meiji period and beyond, this book manages to cover quite a lot of ground in a little bit of time, and it manages to do so with a nearly concise telling. I say nearly concise because the book tends to get bogged down in a generous procession of name-dropping and the occasional fluffed bit information. The authors are not attempting to pad their book by any means, so rest assured the price you pay is certainly worth the information you receive, just be prepared for reread a few sections in an attempt to filter out superfluous information and cut through the occasional fluff. Documents and references are provided for each chapter via footnotes, so you skeptics can fact check the fine work of these historians. Overall it was a great educational experience, despite the sparse moments of information overload. I highly recommend reading it, if you're at all interested in Japanese history.Likes:-Reliable information-Concise and well laid out chaptersDislikes:-A spot of fluff here or there-A lot of naming dropping, past the point of necessity sometimes and to the point of confusion.

If you like lots of facts, and little to no dubious extrapolations or conclusions, then you will like this book.My nephew is living in Japan, and thus my inerest in learning more about the origins and development of this ancient civilization.One thing I did not expect, was how this history has helped me to understand the long history of the complex and conflicted relationship between Japan, Korea and China.Three stars because the style is a little dry and professorial, compared to my favorite history authors, and might be a turn-off for younger readers.

I was born and educated in Japan. I knew the history. I found it very well written.

Fascinating and very well written. I purchased this book because of an upcoming trip to Japan and I not only learned a good bit of the country's history, but also gained more of an understanding of the people of Japan.

What I most liked about this book is that is does not cover only military/political history, but also arts, religion, poetry, architecture, theater, and many other aspects of Japanese society that are essential to understand this country.It is a great book for those who want to enter in this world. Now I feel I have the basics about the country for a more detailed study.

I really enjoyed this book - covers the entire history of Japan, politics and culture. Mason does seem to be a bit biased against the US (in WW II) and for Japan, which kind of soured the reading experience.
