The Giants of Asia

India, Pakistan, China, Japan

About this book

First published in 1967, The Giants of Asia discusses the growth of Asian nationalism and Asian power. It surveys the major Asian countries and the three major forms that Asian nationalism has taken: constitutional democracy in India and initially in Pakistan, the pre-war militarism of Japan, and nationalist communism in China. The author discusses the problems of unity and government after the withdrawal of European power. He has been extraordinarily successful in conveying unfamiliar ideas concretely and simply – in surveying this vast unfamiliar field with simple clarity. This book will be of interest to students and researchers of politics, history, and Asian studies.
