1 comments about Agony of Choice: Matsuoka Yosuke and the Rise and Fall of the Japanese Empire, 1880-1946 (Studies of Modern Japan).
- This is a superb biography, much more than simply a translation of the author's earlier Japanese-language book on Matsuoka. Lu has drawn on much pirmary source material not exploited by others, including interviews with many people who knew or worked with (or against) Matsuoka. Because he is very aware of the broader context, he has been able to accurately assess Matsuoka's real impact. This makes the book essential for any study of the events of the period, and particularly so of Japan's road to the Pacific War. In addition, Lu draws a deeply insightful psychological portrait of this very complex man.

1 comments about Clinging to hope: I survived the Japanese women's camp.
- One of the most comprehensive personal narratives of the Japanese/Indo POW experience relayed through the eyes of a young Indo woman.
This type of narrative is normally read by those with a specific interest in the Indo experience of Japanese occupation, and this one is very satisfying in the detail it gives of what happened to those captured, those left behind, the survivors and the participants in the war drama.
It would have benefitted from having an editor tighten the story, a spell check and a smaller font, but for content and story line it was really enlightening about the period in question, which is why I searched it out and read it.
