Description
Out of the ashes of World War II, Japan has risen to become perhaps the greatest economic force in the free world and our most ferocious competitor.
Our feelings about the Japanese range from admiration to hostility and are based on radical misconceptions. These are dispelled in this exhilerating book which draws a perfect map of the Japanese psyche: the child's role in the family as well as the robot's role in the corporation; the revelation of the matriarchal society; the gruelling educational system; how the Japanese work and how they relax; the overriding desire to achieve.
Robert C. Christopher draws on a career as a distinguished journalist-Time, first editor of Newsweek International, administrator of the Pulitzer Prizes - and four decades of intimate knowledge of his subject to make the baffling clear, the seemingly illogical logical and the Western reader wise to the ways of the Japanese and of Japan.
