The first edition of Frank Gibney's widely acclaimed book was long required reading for anyone interested in modem Japan. Nearly twenty years later, many of Gibney's original observations still hold true. More important, this third revised edition considers recent events—the catastrophic Kobe earthquake, the sarin-gas attacks on Tokyo subways, the collapse of the "bubble economy"—that would seem to have profound effects on Japan.
Today Japanese products and tourists can be found in every comer of the globe, but Japan itself remains an enigma to most people. Japan: The Fragile Superpower is a timely and thorough introduction to the country that, more than ever before, seems poised to play a key role in world affairs.
Frank Gibney is one of America's foremost experts on East Asia. He is president of the Pacific Basin Institute in Santa Barbara, California, and vice-chairman of Encyclopaedia Brittanica's board of directors.
