It broadens my understanding for many important issues

Despite all of his merits landes presented several of his chapters especially the ones on china and japan in a very very biased fashion
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
Although his mockery of the celestial empire during the late qing is highly accurate his overall tone makes the entire history of china seem worthless
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
To everybody who have learned about east asian history japan was a perpetual vassal who proclaimed its inferiority to han and tang china for thousands of years
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
However the notion landes mentioned of japan being the best colonial master of all time is just ridiculously stupid and untrue
Posted by a reviewer on Amazon
The oppression japan imposed on these two regions through mass brainwashing and outright exploitation is impossible for modern audiences to even conceive

Additionally the reason these two regions developed their economies so quickly was due to the hardworking nature of its people not to japans socalled economic policies which probably resulted in more destruction than construction

Of course i still believe this to be an amazing and wellcrafted book despite certain areas that seem very very biased to certain proposterous beliefs
