Came quickly, decently priced. Bought as a textbook, can't speak on the actual quality of the book itself. Only using it to get through my course.

5.0 out of 5 stars 勧めの一冊です
昭和30年代に書かれた本(入門書)、日本で言えば高校教科書程度だけど、日本人が書いた国定教科書の角度と違って大変示唆に富んでいます。
私は歴史の勉強と、英語の勉強の両方の目的で繰り返し読んでいます。
それだけに、陸奥宗光以外にも記述に間違いのある箇所見つけています。
例えば、(169ページ)武家諸法度の発布が家康によるとの記述ですが、秀忠ですね。
しかし、ペリーの来航など、proved the utter vulnerabjlity of the city of Edo to foreign attack or starvation through blockade と書かれているところなど、日本の教科書より臨場感があって面白い。
こんな箇所はまだまだあります。
私としては、大学生にもお勧めの一冊です。

3.0 out of 5 stars 文中の間違い
この本のpage 303 の中の上から12行の中に、Aoki(青木周蔵)とプリントしてありますが、正しくは Mutsu(陸奥宗光)ですね。
今までに指摘がなかったのでしょうか。
訂正をするべきですね。
(原文のまま)
The break finally came in 1894 when Foreign Minister Aoki negotiated with British Foreign Secretary Kimberley an agreement that was to eradicate extraterrritoriality by 1899.
本としては悪くない本と思っているだけに残念です。
