Book Reviews of Zen at War (2nd Edition)
Book Review: A brilliant book about Zen in history
Summary: 5 Stars
This book gives an excellent perspective on the role of Zen in modern Japanese political philosophy. It has always played a critical role in Japanese military theory and the martial arts. In modern times it became an integral part of the political theories that set Japan on a course for military expansion in Asia. The book is well-researched and documents how top Zen leaders actively supported Japan's dreams of empire.
