"
The Japanese Art of War should be required reading for modern-day missionaries of Western business, politics, and culture."–
San Francisco Chronicle "'Set aside all the slogans you have learned and all the intellectual views that stick to your flesh.' Cleary quotes Chinese Zen master Yuanwu as saying. That's what this provocative book forces us to do. It raises the art of understanding of Japan's national and corporate psychology to new–and eminently accessible–heights of clarity. Cleary's is, in fact, the clearest voice explaining East-West cultural differences that I have encountered in a long time. An amazing achievement."–Alexander Besher, author of
The Pacific Rim Almanac
