"A
well-written, easily understandable book, which will be of great value
to Japanese students learning their history.""As
Supreme
Commander for the Allied Powers during the Occupation of Japan, General
Douglas MacArthur established the foundations of democracy through
various reforms such as dissolution of the zaibatsu, agragian reform,
educational liberalization, equal rights for women and the
Constitution. This textbook should be very useful to help Japanese
students learn the history of that period, in addition to learning
English. "
Tomiichi Murayama, former Prime Minister
of Japan
