Description: "Supported by much new, or previously neglected, material, Democracy in Pre-War Japan depicts a tortuous battle of ideas, with many odd contradictions, sudden shifts and humiliating retreats. It focuses on key points of difference between leading thinkers and explores their motivation, as shaped by contemporary events. This volume is a key resource for all those interested in Japanese history, political ideas and rival concepts of government."--BOOK JACKET.
