Reviews
I recommend this book as a solid work for those interested in the evolving intelligence community of the world's third economic power. * The Cipher Brief *
An impressive and seminal work of meticulous research and outstanding scholarship, "Japanese Foreign Intelligence and Grand Strategy: From the Cold War to the Abe Era" will be of particular interest to students, academia, and non-specialist general readers with an interest in the subject of Japanese intelligence, security, or international relations. * Midwest Book Review *
Williams provides English-language readers with one of the best books on the evolution of Japan's intelligence community. This book is, therefore, an important piece of the puzzle for explaining not just Japan's past security behavior, but also its likely future. * H-Diplo *
Williams presents a novel framework that situates the development of Japan's intelligence system within the context of the nation's grand strategy, as well as the norms and practices that have shaped its national security and foreign policy. * Japan Review *
