Book summaryThis history of Japan's royal family explores the role that the family and its associates played in the social, political, and economic life of Japan in the 19th and 20th centuries. It investigates the extent to which these anachronistic networks of power still exist and how they hinder Japan's full participation in modern-day international relations.Media Reviews"With gusto, [Seabrook] details political intrigues, also clearly relishing personal idiosyncrasies...[but] In the main, the mediocrity of these Japanese rulers was such that even Seabrook's swashbuckling prose cannot rescue them." -- Phyllis Birnbaum, Times Literary Supplement Publisher NotesIn The Yamato Dynasty, Sterling Seagrave, who divulged the secrets of Mao Tse-tung and the ruthlessness of Chiang Kai-shek in the New York Times bestseller The Soong Dynasty, and his wife and longtime collaborator, Peggy, present the controversial, never-before-told history of the world’s longest-reigning dynasty–the Japanese imperial family–from its nineteenth-century origins through today. In the first collective biography of both the men and women of the Yamato Dynasty, the Seagraves take a controversial, comprehensive look at a family history that crosses two world wars, the bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the American occupation of Japan, and Japan’s subsequent phoenix-like rise from the ashes of the Second World War. The Yamato Dynasty tells the story of the powerful men who have stood behind the screen–the shoguns and financiers controlling the throne from the shadows–taking readers behind the walls of privilege and tradition and revealing, in uncompromising detail, the true nature of a dynasty shrouded in myth and legend Other Recommended Books
