For Japan the Meiji Restoration of 1868 has something of the significance that the French Revolution has for France: it is the point from which modern history begins. In this now classic work of Japanese history the late W. G. Beasley offers a comprehensive account of the origins development and immediate aftermath of the events that restored Imperial rule to Japan. He makes the case that the origins of the Meiji Restoration are not found in economic distress or class struggle but in a growing sense of national danger and national pride spurred by Japan s contacts with the West. Nationalism provided the impetus for overthrowing the Tokugawa military government and reuniting Japan under the Emperor Meiji. Only when the Tokugawa were gone did their successors turn of necessity to the making of modern Japan seeking strength and stability in new social patterns. Originally published in 1972 this new paperback edition contains a foreword written by Michael R. Auslin that celebrates Beasley s legacy.
