Japan's legal and political system, enshrined in the 1947 Constitution and imposed on the Japanese people without their involvement during the U.S. occupation, is largely alien to its history and culture. Peter Herzog examines the effects of that foreign value system in this detailed and fascinating book, highlighting instances in such areas as the judiciary, human rights, minorities, religion and education, where abuse and exploitation of the law has taken on disturbing proportions at many levels of Japanese public life.
Peter J. Herzog recieved is Ph.D. from Fordham University, New York. He has taught at Sophia University (Jochi Daigaku), Tokyo, worked in the Research Division of the Fuji Bank, and wrritten numerous books and articles.
