"Reforming Public Health in Occupied Japan, 1945-52 is a persuasive reconstruction of a turbulent and reform-oriented period in the history of public health in Japan. Furthermore, it is a significant addition to existing occupation literature and helps us to understand the decision-making processes in occupied Japan, as well as the limits of indirect occupation in the implementation of alien initiatives... this book will surely take a well-deserved place in the historiography of the occupation of Japan."- Juha Saunavaara (University of Oulu); H-US-Japan, H-Net Reviews.
