Recenzje

'Staden’s book is worthy of careful reading to understand Japan’s prewar situation of the iron and steel industry, which eventually led to the formation of Japan Steel Corporation. Moreover, it will enable readers to realize the general relationship among the bureaucrats, politicians, and business people in those years.' - Etsuo ABE, Meiji University, Enterprise and Society, March 2009
