This panoramic study is a magnificent achievement that addresses virtually every dimension of Japan's modern history from the 17th century to the present, towering above all other works of its kind. In lucid and lively prose, McClain (history, Brown Univ.) analyzes major trends in politics, the economy, society, culture and the arts, foreign affairs, and almost every other conceivable aspect of Japanese society. He is both landscape painter and miniaturist, illuminating core trends with the telling anecdote and the personal stories and travails of ordinary people as well as the high and mighty. His pages devoted to social history, which cover workers, women, minorities, and outcastes, are particularly fine. McClain is no mere chronicler of events. He provides a finely shaded, deeply intelligent, and eminently fair assessment of a country whose historical legacy has shadowed it throughout its often tortuous transformation from a semifeudal polity to a modern state. A sympathetic but detached observer, McClain makes the history come alive for students and general readers alike.

通史的问题就是面面俱到，不过我所需要的确实是需要面面俱到的入门书。充斥的事件和人物对于对日本现代史充满好奇和疑惑的我确实是个极大的丰富，时不时需要对着wiki理顺叙述，在帮助理解日本人现代观念的形成，甚至解读当代日本的某些情绪和思维方式，也是颇有收获的。作者语言较为中立，留给人的思考空间也就因个人的学识背景不同相对自由，唯一不甚喜欢的，当然还有我自己的问题，就是有些时候的形容词用得实在华丽高级。 用了三个多月读完，这也是好多年读得最厚的一本书了吧。
评分不错的日本史入门读物，各方面内容照顾得比较周全，比Gordon那本要详细一些。至于问题嘛……这毕竟是通史啊……
评分还是没能逃出success story的category
