"It is an excellent book, well-written, and thoroughly researched and documented. Nothing like it exists in the field of Japanese politics and education." - Donald R. Thurston, author of Teachers and Politics in Japan "This book should interest all serious students of postwar Japan. Its significance goes well beyond education and speaks to the right-left split in postwar Japanese society." - Edward R. Beauchamp, coeditor of Japanese Education Since 1945: A Documentary Study
