"The Japanese experience of war from the late-nineteenth to the mid-twentieth century
presents a stunning example of the meteoric rise and shattering fall of a great power.
As Japan modernized and became the one non-European great power, its leaders concluded
that an empire on the Asian mainland required the containment of Russia. Japan won
the First Sino-Japanese War (1894-5) and the Russo-Japanese War (1904-5) but became
overextended in the Second Sino-Japanese War (1931-45), which escalated, with profound
consequences, into World War II. A combination of incomplete institution building,
an increasingly lethal international environment, a skewed balance between civil and
military authority, and a misunderstanding of geopolitics explains these divergent
outcomes. This analytical survey examines themes including the development of Japanese
institutions, diversity of opinion within the government, domestic politics, Japanese
foreign policy and China's anti-Japanese responses. It is an essential guide for those
interested in history, politics and international relations"
