Bamboozled!: How America Loses the Intellectual Game With Japan and Its Implications for Our Future in Asia

8 reviews
Ivan P. Hall

East Gate Book, 2002

for reasons I later explain
Ivan Hall's latest book should prove to be controversial for a number of important reasons, chief of which is his contention that Japan continues to outwit and outflank the United States on trade and other important economic matters. He further contends that Japanese society is constructed in such a manner that voices of dissent are stifled, that a large number of American academics, journalists ...

Gripping story-line. A fantastic read!
Alvin So is one freakin' genius churnin' out good tome after good tome. The hits just keep on comin', I tell you what...Actually I didn't really read this book but couldn't resist the temptation to be the first reviewer of something and because I like some of his other work I figured I'd give it the good ol' fashioned plug. Way to go So!

East Gate Book, 2002

Weight without depth
This huge book of six hundred pages comes with high recommendations from authors like Gunder Frank and Martin Bernal, but significantly, from no real authority on the Indian Ocean's history. It uses, or claims to use, many languages such as Portuguese, Dutch, Italian, Persian, Russian etc. But it is really based on the Dutch East India Company's sources. Dealing with the Arabian Seas in the ...

4 reviews

East Gate Book, 2000

Remembering is a Form of Forgetting
In Censoring History: Citizenship and Memory in Japan, Germany, and the United States Laura Hein and Mark Selden provide a critical investigation of how Japan, Germany, and even the United States recognize, think about, and then articulate their role during times of war. Hein and Seldon place their work within a larger viewpoint and try to concentrate on two main issues: [1] the connection ...

Great Resource for Teachers and Students
This huge volume is an excellent resource for teachers and students of Asian history. It contains dozens of essays on Asia and the west, Asia and the world, and themes in Asian history, written by some of our finest historians. The information on Asian history, culture, and religions is fascinating and accessible. For high school AP World History teachers like me, it is an invaluable reference ...

China's Economic Challenge: Smashing the Iron Rice Bowl (East Gate Books)

Neil C. Hughes

East Gate Book, 2002

Perfect book for everyone interested in China!
"China's Economic Challenge : Smashing the Iron Rice Bowl" takes a modern look at China, its economy, and the effects of the outside world on China. The author, Neil Hughes, obviously is an expert. He worked at the World Bank for over 20 years and has a Masters degree from Tuft University's prestigious Fletcher School. As a non-academic, I thought this book would go way over my head. I ...

Ray Huang

East Gate Book, 1996

Refreshing and enlightening
This is one of the most enlightening books I've read. Maybe only a person with Ray Huang's life experience, his mastery of both the eastern and western languages and culture can write a book so refreshing and so uncolored by party politics or ideological beliefs. Growing up in China, Huang spent 12 years serving in Chiang Kai-Shek's army; then trading guns for books, he earned his PhD in history ...

Frederick C. Teiwes, Warren Sun

East Gate Book, 1999

Deification of Mao
This book represents a credible attempt to add new perspectives (in many cases revolutionary ones) to a significant era in the Chinese political, military, and social landscape. In my opinion, it fundamentally flawed in that the foundation of the entire work is the fervently-held premise that Mao was omnipotent during this relevant period. In attributing God-like qualities to this one mortal ...
