Book Description
Japan’s war in Asia and the Pacific from 1937 to 1945 continues to be a subject of great interest, yet the wartime Japanese army remains little understood outside Japan. Most published accounts rely on English-language works written in the 1950s and 1960s. The Japanese-language sources have remained relatively inaccessible to Western scholars in part because of the difficulty of the language, a difficulty that Edward J. Drea, who reads Japanese, surmounts.
In a series of searching examinations of the structure, ethos, and goals of the Japanese military establishment, Drea offers new material on its tactics, operations, doctrine, and leadership. Based on original military documents, official histories, court diaries, and Emperor Hirohito’s own words, these twelve essays introduce Western readers to fifty years of Japanese scholarship about the war and Japan’s military institutions. In addition, Drea uses recently declassified Allied intelligence documents related to Japan to challenge existing views and conventional wisdom about the war.

Filling a major gap.......2006-09-22
While there has been quite a few histories of individual battles of the Pacific War, there have been few studies of the Imperial Japanese Army. This is not only in striking contrast to the various studies of the Wehrmacht and the Waffen SS, but even in comparison with the Imperial Japanese Navy (Evans and Peattie's Kaigun comes to mind).
Drea's book is an admirable effort to start filling in some of those blanks. His essay on General Adachi, for example, provides interesting background into how a typical Japanese officer's career went; in this case, an officer who was not heavily politicized.
Similarly, his discussion of how Japanese recruits underwent training provides important background into the mindset of soldiers. This is indispensable in understanding the IJA as an institution and organization.
Indispensible to understanding of Pacific War.......2003-01-02
Good English-language materials on the Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) in World War II are disappointingly rare. With the passing of Alvin Coox, Edward Drea is definitely the foremost Western authority. This volume collects a number of very valuable articles that he published in the 1980s and early 1990s. While recent work has brought clarification and amendment in some details, the value of his judgments and perspectives remains undimmed.
A unique and very valuable feature is the many direct comparisons between the U.S. Army and IJA, which do a great deal to illuminate both forces.
The articles are: "Tradition and Circumstances: The Imperial Japanese Army's Tactical Response to Khalkhin-Gol, 1939"; "The Development of Imperial Japanese Army Amphibious Warfare Doctrine"; "Imperial Japanese Army Strategy and the Pacific War (1941-1945)"; "An Allied Interpretation of the Pacific War"; "U.S. Army and Imperial Japanese Army Doctrine during World War II"; "'Trained in the Hardest School'"; "Adachi Hatazo: A Soldier of His Emperor"; "A Signals Intercept Site at War"; "Leyte: Unanswered Questions"; "Japanese Preparations for the Defense of the Homeland"; "Intelligence Forecasting for the Invasion of Japan: Previews of Hell"; "Chasing a Decisive Victory: Emperor Hirohito and Japan's War with the West (1941-1945)". Every one is very worthwhile.
This book is all but indispensable to a clear understanding of the Pacific War. The publishing of a more affordable paperback edition is very welcome.

PS. Virtually the only other comprehensive work in English on the Japanese Army in World War II is _Kogun: The Japanese Army in the Pacific War_, by Saburo Hayashi and Alvin Coox. (It is out of print and hard to find, but a text file is available on the Web.) Virtually anything written by Alvin Coox on the subject is well worth reading, and particularly his article "The Pacific War" in Vol. 6 of _The Cambridge History of Japan_, and of course his masterful book, _Nomonhan: Japan Against Russia, 1939_ (available from Amazon). For an understanding of the Japanese Army as an institution, see Leonard Humphreys, _The Way of the Heavenly Sword: The Japanese Army in the 1920's_ (also available from Amazon) as well as Shin'ichi Kitaoka, "The Army as a Bureaucracy: Japanese Militarism Revisited," _J. Mil. Hist._, 57/5: 67-86. And by all means be sure to remain on the lookout for further work by Edward Drea.

Research on the Japanese Army is a bit behind the times.......2001-07-13
This book is a welcome addition to anybody's library on WW2 Japan but as always, the information is not quite up to date. That has always been the problem with books on the Japanese Army because only a limited number of wetern historians can actually understand Japanese. The book says, for example, that only 60 type 3 tanks were built during the war when the newest research suggests that over 200 rolled off the production lines. Also the photo of Lieut.General Adachi does not show him as a General but as a Colonel. Still, better than what usually hits the market with "The author has read the Japanese official history" on this or that battle with the author thanking his Japanese interpreters elsewhere in the book.

Book Description
Lyons provides a fresh and thought-provoking understanding of the children's public mental health system, as well as the need to foster its evolution and improvement. He presents the history of child mental health systems, including the U.S. system's roots and the early 19th-century case of the Wild Boy of Aveyron, which demonstrated the potentially therapeutic effects of environment. He shows us why modern leaders and presidents have issued calls for improvements to the U.S. child mental health system, and what barriers have slowed or even halted this evolution. Such barriers, Lyons explains, can be removed with community development and better clinical outcomes management. In addition to providing information for parents, family members, and advocates for improving the lives of children needing mental health care, this work will also interest clinicians, policy makers and students in social work, clinical psychiatry, public health and public policy.

Dynamic tensions shaping the children's mental health system.......2004-10-22
Anyone who has had the pleasure of attending training or conferences with Dr. John Lyons knows that not only is he intelligent and perceptive he is also accessible and entertaining. In his book, Redressing the Emperor, Dr. Lyons brings his experience, insight, and wit to taking a hard look at the children's mental health system. Dr. Lyons is a professor at Northwestern University and has spent his career researching and improving both children's and adult mental health systems.
To distill the message of this book, Dr. Lyons processes the dynamic tensions present in children's services and systems. It is this tension and the views and philosophies of practitioners, participants and advocates that shape children's services and progress. The book challenges the reader to examine the personal and systemic beliefs interwoven through the system and to utilize and shape these beliefs to improve services for children.
Dr. Lyons provides a useful history of the children's mental health system as well as the challenges that face us today. This book is certainly informative, but more than that it is actually a great read. I strongly recommend this book for practitioners, participants and advocates in the children's mental health system -- as well as those in child welfare, education, and juvenile justice.

Decision At Trafalgar: The Story of the Greatest British Naval Battle of the Age of Nelson (Heart of Oak Sea Classics Series)
ASIN: 159114681X |
Book Description
Behind the scenes of Napoleon's threatened invasion of England, a war of wits known as "The Great Terror."
In 1801, as Napoleon's Grande Armée faced an army of English volunteers across the Channel, a secret war of espionage and subversion was being fought by shadowy men with little-known names. New weapons—rockets, submarines, and torpedoes—were being developed in France by the American inventor Robert Fulton. Even during the lull of the Peace of Amiens, when English tourists flocked to Paris, the secret war continued.
Drawing on diaries, letters, and newspapers, Tom Pocock provides a wonderful picture of the years 1801-5, and of the people caught up in these unique events: Nelson blockading the French at sea for two years while his beloved Emma Hamilton waited at home; Jane Austen and her naval brothers; the admirals, generals, and politicians on both sides; and perhaps most interesting of all, those lesser-known men such as Congreve, Moreau, and Pichegru, who were responsible for a new kind of warfare. 16 pages of b/w illustrations.

Great addition to the literature.......2006-12-15
Trafalgar was a brutal conflict that changed the course of the wars on the continent. With the destruction of the French and Spanish fleet the British had control over the seas. This book talks about the prolonged conflict and the mission that Napoleon hoped to send his fleet on in order to deceive the British. Only Nelson's luck allowed the plot to unravel and the British to defeat the French. This is a good book once you have started to read about Trafalgar but I would not recommend starting with it. This book leaves out some events that occurred in the background but sheds new light on other aspects of the conflict. Overall it is well worth a read.
A Time Rather Like the Phony War of 1940.......2005-12-10
The Battle of Trafalgar has long been regarded as a definitive battle in the history of the Napoleonic wars. This book concentrates on a little known time during those wars when there was peace between England and France. The peace, if it could be called that, between 1801 when it became clear that Napoleon was at least thinking of invading England until 1805 when, with the Battle of Trafalgar the threat ended.
Tom Pocock has combined his usual exhaustive research with his customary skill in writing. He presents a story of a time not unlike the Phony War of 1940 when two countries were nominally at peace but when undercurrents of war including the actions of secret agents were rampant. All was not quite peaceful during this time, Nelson conducted what today would be called raids against France and there were other activities.
This is a most interesting book of a time that was prologue to the last of the great sailing ship battles.
Pretty good and worth the money........2004-05-23
This is not as good as Mr Pocock's excellent biography of Lord Nelson, which may well be among the top two or three ever written. But it is still illuminating and interesting. I can't see how other rewiewers found it muddled, but they are naturally welcome to their view. I found this easy to follow and quite clear throughout.
Interesting History, Muddled.......2003-08-26
I was very excited when I heard of this books publication, as I felt it would give attention to a historical period that I think is sadly ignored. Noted historian Tom Pocock, in his new book, paints the picture of the "peaceful" years, the time period between about 1801-1804 when Great Britain and Napoleonic France suffered through an uneasy peace, separated by the channel. This time period is a very interesting few years, as it shares a lot of similar aspects with the US-USSR Cold War. Two very powerful nations, unable to grapple directly with each other, use every underhanded and dirty trick in the book to degrade the others influence, while still preparing for later all out war. It was a time of espionage, rebellion, intrigue, and new weapon designs. These factors make for great history, but I felt Pocock fails in regard to a truly monumental work.
By late 1801, it was clear to most that France and her emperor were firmly entrenched as masters of the continent. French armies dominated Italy, Austria, and most of Eastern Europe, while the old empires such as the Austria-Hungarian, pledged loyalty and peace to the Corsican general. England, with its small army, had no chance of dislodging the power of France. Many at home, interestingly, pushed for peace, both in admiration of Napoleon and his "Republican" ideals and their own deteriorating financial straits. The declared peace brought little relief however, as both sides stepped up their covert activities. Alliances were proposed, economic warfare often ensued, and the British secret service sought several ways to degrade the Emperor's regime.
At the same time, one of the few military figures to emerge heroically from the war, lived a relatively peaceful (but scandalous) life as a hero of the nation. Horatio Nelson was a wily naval hero who had badly beaten Napoleon at Egypt and knew how to make full use of Britain's superior position upon the sea. His days were spent usually on personal matters, but his date with destiny was rapidly approaching, and he did stay involved in the matters of state and the admiralty. His nemesis across the waves was also preparing for destiny, desperately trying to prepare a valid invasion fleet. Bonaparte knew that if he could get his troops across the 26 mile wide straight, he would easily crush the British. The hard part, of course, was getting there.
While I had initial excitement for this story, it was soon degraded by Pocock's style of writing it. Some parts that I feel had little actual impact on the historical record, or in anyone's interest, are harped on incessantly, to the detriment of the really fascinating events taking place. I want to hear of spies, of diplomatic trickery, not constant looks at Nelson's private life or which house his mistress should by. If I wanted that, I would turn to the thousands of Nelson biographies. Too often throughout his book, Pocock gets hung up on the wide range of knowledge he's decided to include, some of which are just annoying accessories to the main story. Still, the book was fairly entertaining and educational, it is just some of the writing is tepid and uninteresting. In the hands of a better writer, I felt this story could have been something really special.
Excellent and informative........2003-07-09
I respectfully suggest that the previous reviewer may be a little hard on Tom Pocock, who is anything but a "lazy" scholar. He is prolific, industrious and original.
Not all books have to be totally original in every paragraph of every page. A book that contains SOME new interpretations, insights and information is still a great accomplishment. Pocock's book falls into this category. It does contain a lot of material already in the "public domain" (a strange phrase for knowledge, anyway), but it also contains some gently presented but nonetheless invaluable insights and information. I learned much from this book, and I'm a scholar!
The book is meticulously researched, carefully arranged, sensibly and persuasively argued and Pocock-ishly written (in other words, elegantly). It is broad in its sweep of topics, but not in the least disjointed. All topics relate and flow together to form a colourful and richly helpful portrayal of a perilous period. I congratulate Mr Pocock, who has inspired me during my own academic journey. With this book he continues to do so.

Having never seen the famous 1970s television series based on Graves' historical novel of ancient Rome and being generally uneducated about matters both ancient and Roman, I wasn't prepared for such an engaging book. But it's a ripping good read, this fictional autobiography set in the Roman Empire's days of glory and decadence. As a history lesson, it's fabulous; as a novel it's also wonderful. Best is Claudius himself, the stutterer who let everyone think he was an idiot (to avoid getting poisoned) but who reveals himself in the narrative to be a wry and likable observer. His story continues in Claudius the God.
Product Description
Tiberius Claudius Drusu Nero Germanicus lived from 10 B.C. to A.D. 54. Despised as a weakling and dismissed as an idiot beause of his physical infirmities, Claudius survived the intrigues and poisonings that marked the reigns of Augustus, Tiberius, and the mad Caligula, to become emperor of Rome in A.D. 41.

Fast Paced historical fiction.......2007-08-30
Movies set in ancient Rome has always given a bloated/ larger than life view of the period. Thanks to movies like Gladiator, Spartacus and Ben-hur. When people say the word "Rome", we envision gladiators and people dressed up in bad togas and epic battles. I Claudius removes all these cliches. You dont have battle descriptions, Heston/Crowe-like heroes, swordfights, etc. What you get here is a gritty, realistic picture of post-Julius Caeser period. Think about a Martin Scorcese gangster picture - Departed or Goodfellas or Casino set in roman period. The book is filled with political maneouvers, double crosses, murders. The narration is by an interesting emperor. None of the characters are defined as "good" or "bad". Everyone has a gray shade. The book has three villains - Livia (you will never forget this character in your life), Caligula (depicted as a psycho) and Tiberius. Livia is so good at her villany, you would start loving her !
You would never close the book in the middle. Very fast paced. Most of the events in the book are true. You might keep the book down only in you are overwhelmed by murders (I was !). The number of murders per page increases as the book moved forward.
Roman history has never been this good. Do not get turned off by the fact that this book is "literature"..All top 100 lists will feature this book. Let me put it this way - this is the most "entertaining" and "mainstream" literature. Enjoy the wonderful read !
Fascinating.......2007-08-28
A fascinating, well researched historical novel. I love Roman history and this is as good as it gets. The characters are well researched and very well developed. The result is captivating. I highly recomend this book.
Just brilliant.......2007-06-25
The history of the reign of the Caesars is one that has more fast-paced action, betrayal, violence, sexual depravity, scheming than any modern-day thriller. However there are few examples of great fictionalised accounts that present this. I Claudius is such an account - Graves makes for extremely compelling, unputdownable reading without sacrificing historical accuracy, for the facts speak for themselves. You don't need to know much about Roman history, or anything for that matter, because the novel takes you through everything. The differences -- and similarities -- between that world and ours are also made very apparent by the narrator (Claudius before he became emperor) and enrich the book. Finally there is a great sense of irony maintained throughout -- of course the facts of history themselves are ironic (the stuttering Claudius thought of by most as a fool surviving his murdering relatives to become emperor). But Graves capitalises on this and other ironies. And of course it is a historical novel narrated by a character who is himself a historian bringing up some interesting questions.
I was enthralled, entertained, educated and more and am already breezing through the sequel (Claudius the God).
A delightful read.......2007-06-01
I, Claudius is written as if it were the autobiography of Claudius, the fourth ruler of the Julian-Claudian dynasty. I should preface this review by pointing out that I began this book knowing very little of ancient Roman history, and therefore I cannot speak authoritatively on the historical accuracy of the novel. My primary basis for praising the book is that Mr. Graves here tells a darn good story. I have read elsewhere that Graves preferred poetry to prose, and that he wrote novels so that he would be financially independent enough to pursue his ultimate calling, poetry. Be that as it may, this book is written in beautiful prose. It isn't the ebullient, ecstatic prose of a Nabokov or Joyce, but rather a very concise, clean prose. Both the writing style and the exciting narrative conspire to make this a fast, delightful read.
Claudius was born into the upper echelons of Roman society during the reign of Augustus Caesar, who was his great uncle. Because of various physical deformities and a pronounced stutter, many regarded him as an idiot. Because of his status as somewhat of a social outcast, Claudius throughout most of his early life did not participate directly in the political intrigues of the day. Rather, he observed them from afar, and this book is written as if it were Claudius' retelling of these observations. A good portion of the book concerns itself with the stories of others, and he himself doesn't feature prominently in the action until later. The book is populated with fascinating characters, including his diabolical, powerful grandmother Livia, his heroic brother Germanicus, his demented nephew Caligula, and countless others. I was almost reminded when reading it of One Hundred Years of Solitude. Although the two books' settings could hardly be more different, they each share a number of commonalities, including a rich cast of wonderfully drawn characters, perfect narrative pace, and complex, multilayered plots and subplots. And despite the ancient setting, the plots here have everything that the modern, worldly reader could hope for: political intrigues, assassination, torture, incest, adultery (so, so much adultery!), all manner of sexually perverse acts, dozens of suicides, military battles, witchcraft, curses, prophecies...the list goes on and on!
Overall, I recommend this book to anybody looking for a good story. A strong interest in or knowledge of Rome isn't necessary, as my own praise of the book indicates. I'm not sure if I am going to read the sequel, Claudius the God, anytime soon, mainly because of time constraints, but I plan in the near future to watch the entire BBC miniseries! Graves did a wonderful service by breathing new life into these fascinating historical characters. Historians can quibble all they want about whether the book faithfully recounts the historical record or whether Graves was pushing any political agendas. The book was written as a piece of historical fiction, and it succeeds marvelously on every level.
A delicious Caesar Salad .......2007-04-14
Chronicaling through 5 Caesars as told by the so-called "idiot" Claudius. Claudius is destined to be Caesar by keeping under the radar.
The story of each Caeser is captivating, the politics and betrayals are brutal. Caligula is both scary and funny.
A top 10 book for me.
This book is followed by Claudius the God: And His Wife Messalina which was also a good read.

From the supplier: China's one-child policy is expected to create a significant change in the Chinese marketplace. There will be an increased demand for imported items, as parents purchase goods they were unable to attain with siblings or during the Cultural Revolution. Foreign manufacturers should take advantage of this trend in the local market by establishing joint ventures with Chinese businesses. They should likewise make sure that their products are of high quality.
