“The elements for the creation of Japanese nationalism had long existed. Long periods of isolation from other peoples, a common language, a belief in ethnic unity and widespread myths about the divine origin of the islands provided a base upon which to build a vigorous society of patriots.”
Neumann brings together intellectual and diplomatic history in this examination of one nation's hundred-year encounter with another.
