Reviews

Daring, relevant and an excellent an excellent commencement within the English language literature on the origins of the Japanese welfare state... Beyond contributing substantively to the literature by covering hitherto uncharted terrain, Yamagishi's claims about the mechanisms underlying war-period health policy change deserve closer scrutiny and will be of interest to a broad audience. -- A.K.M. Skarpelis Social Science Japan Journal
