Title: Army, Empire, and Politics in Meiji Japan
Description: "This book challenges the stereotypes of Japanese militarism and imperialism. It charts the often uncertain development of the army as an institution, explains the continuities and confusion in military thinking about imperial expansion, and demonstrates the positive role of some in the army towards political change. Through a key individual, it provides an entirely new picture of Meiji Japan."--BOOK JACKET.
