Patrick Link’s Reviews > From Party Politics to Militarism in Japan, 1924–1941 > Status Update

I’ve always gotten the impression that Showa could have spoken out more against the Imperial Way Faction if he had wanted to.

I need to read more about urban development in the 1920s and 1930s in Japan.

Going back on the gold standard in January 1930 proved not to be a good move for Japanese democracy.

Just skimmed over the 1927 financial crisis. Wish more was covered on the failure of the Jugo Bank.

Following on from another book on Japanese party politics that ended with Yamamoto stepping down after the Semens scandal his return in 1924 with an all star cabinet and the turmoil of the Great Kanto Earthquake seems like a host of missed opportunities blocked by the Seiyukai now firmly in a conservative position.
