Description: "This book presents new research on the military as well as the ideological side of Japanese-German relations during the crucial half-century preceding 1945. Focusing on 'War, Diplomacy and Public Opinion', the book shows that there is no 'natural' link between early German influence on Meiji Japan and the fatal war-alliance." "Written by a team of Japanese and German scholars, this book will be of great interest to those dealing with Japanese and German studies, comparative or world history, international relations and political science alike."--BOOK JACKET.
