Barnhart, Michael A. Japan and the World Since 1868
London Hodder Arnold Publication 1995 0340528583 / 9780340528587 Second Printing Paperback Very Good
Light corner curl , bottom corner lightly bumped ; A bright, solid book ; International Relations and the Great Powers; Trade PB; 0.7 x 9.1 x 6 Inches; 208 pages; Japan's position as a major power in international affairs is recent, but the changes it has gone through during even so short a time have been immense. How to account for its progress from prudence, through folly, to present success is the enquiry at the core of Michael Barnhart's study. He provides a masterly account of the domestic pressures that often helped shape foreign policy, as well as an evaluation of the changing world order itself.

Satoko, Akio Destiny’s Eldest Daughter: The early life of Sukarno’s daughter Megawati
Tokyo Sincho Press 2000 4104370010 / 9784104370016 Hardcover Near Fine in Very Good dust jacket
Only slight wear to book, light chipping top edge of DJ ; Text completely in Japanese script, DJ in Mylar, bound in satin bookmark ; B&W Photographs; Small 8vo 7½" - 8" tall; 335 pages; "Akio depicts Indonesian politics through the family life of Megawati. Writing journalistically, she strongly emphasizes Megawati’s gender roles—as daughter, mother, and wife—especially her “destiny” as the daughter of Indonesia’s first president. Arguably, she draws the contrast between Megawati and Soeharto too simply as “good” and “bad.” However, she has gathered wide-ranging source material, including interviews with everyone from taxi drivers to Megawati herself in the period before she became president. The material from her several interviews with Megawati are of special value in understanding this often silent Indonesian leader."
