    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    It broadens my understanding for many important issues


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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


    Posted by a reviewer on Amazon

    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
