Abstract
Almost simultaneously there have appeared two very good books dealing with China and Japan during their periods of transition, that is, during the last 300 years, and in particular during the last seven decades. They are The Invasion of China by the Western World, by E. R. Hughes (Macmillan), and Japan in Transition, by Emil Lederer and Emy Lederer-Seidler (Yale University Press). Both are excellent books, yet how different they are, and what fundamentally different stories they tell of the cultural changes in the two Oriental countries now at war!
Chapter Note: Amerasia, July 1938, II, no. 5, 243–247.
