In a compelling analysis of the interplay among assassinations, Western bombardment of Japanese cities and fertile cultural and intellectual exchange, Auslin offers a persuasive reading of the birth of modern Japan at the signing of the "unequal" commercial treaty with the U.S., and its struggle to determine its future relations with the world.
