Japan Political and Economic Reports 1906–1970 14 Volume Hardback Set

Japan and Dependencies: Political and Economic Reports 1906–1970 is a revised edition of Archive Editions' 1994 title which ran up to 1960. It provides an extensive series of British diplomatic reports containing a continuous account of developments in Japanese history from 1906–1960, now updated by the addition of previously withheld documents from the 1940s and 2 volumes of documents from 1960–1970. It is further changed by the removal of the volumes relating to the dependencies, Taiwan, Korea and Manchuria. The resulting 9500 pages is a considerable piece of research which provides descriptions and assessments of Japanese international relations, internal political and economic affairs and post-war civil and economic reconstruction following 1945. It is of particular importance as Japan has been viewed latterly as one of the great engines of economic change in the twentieth century.
