A twentieth-century success story by Patrick O'Donovan.
"No country is more difficult for the West to understand than Japan..."
"Japan's is a heroic society with a built-in tension as strong and dangerous as the steel spring of a great clock..."
"She is not happy, but she is successful"
"Some of her facets are as bewilderingly familiar as others are bewilderingly strange. All makes sense to the Japanese. It is a different sense to ours"
