Reviews
[Glosserman] traces the present trajectory of Japan. He does so in a readable style that presents his narrative convincingly to both students of Japanese affairs and readers coming to this question with little foreknowledge. * Socialism Today *
Japan, in Brad Glosserman's view, is currently "understudied, undervalued, and underappreciated" in international relations.... [He] draws out the lessons for us all. * Times Higher Education *
Brad Glosserman has produced a well-informed book on contemporary Japan. * Survival: Global Politics and Strategy *
Glosserman's book deserves to be widely read. * The International Spectator *
Glosserman injects a welcome dose of nuance into often black-and-white debates on Japanese decline and resurgence. * Social Science Japan Journal *
Despite the proliferation of literature on Japan's place on the world today, Peak Japan stands out from the pack for its combination of meticulous research, broad coverage, and sheer accessibility. It is thus invaluable to both the layperson and expert alike seeking to navigate the complex economic, political, security, and societal terrain of contemporary Japan. * Pacific Affairs *
