Thank you for viewing. This is Mitsuru Kurayama's "Toshimichi Okubo: Japan's Greatest Hero." Often compared to Takamori Saigo, Toshimichi Okubo is frequently portrayed with a dark image, described as "cold-hearted" and a "dictator." However, this book argues that he was the greatest contributor to saving Japan from collapse and laying the foundation for a modern nation. Rather than emotional arguments, the book sharply depicts his political skills based on realism and how he overcame the complex international situation at the time, all from Mitsuru Kurayama's unique perspective. Recommended for history fans, as well as business people who want to read it as a leadership theory and organizational theory applicable to the present day.
