"Not until Conrad Totman's A History of Japan has there
been such a sophisticated and detailed record of Japan's past, one
that combines and critiques the standard perspectives while adding
a new vision all its own. In a word, this is the best single-volume
examination of Japan's history available .. A History of
Japan is a masterpiece." Monumenta Nipponica
"A clear and concise overview of the whole of Japanese history."
