Negative Positive
Title: Fascinating
Review: I read this book after reading "The Emperor's General" by James Webb, a great story which gave me some context for the McArthur element in this book. "The Yamato Dynasty" seemed at first to be more historical documentary than story, but having read the first book, I was hooked, and couldn't put it down. I used to skip the bits in the Economist magazine about Japan's economic situation, but this book puts the influences on the economy into fascinating context, and has made me much more interested in what's going on now. It's full of bizarre and amazing little facts that made me want constantly to read bits aloud to whoever was nearby. I would recommend this book to anyone.
