Reviews for Molding Japanese Minds
"Molding Japanese Minds is history at its best; with a thorough command of original sources and scholarship, both in Japanese and other languages, Garon demonstrates that social policy was not solely government-or bureaucracy-driven."
Times Literary Supplement "An excellent book... Garon has chosen his subject well and... he handles it with balance and authority."
Patrick Smith, The Nation
