Japanologist Boyé Lafayette De Mente claims that the Japanese were able to recover from the destruction of World War II in less than 15 years, from 1946 to 1960, and then transform their tiny resource-poor nation into the world's second largest economy in the next 15 years as a result of the code of ethics they inherited from the samurai warriors who ruled the country from 1192 until the last decades of the 19th century. In this fascinating book, De Mente identifies the elements of the samurai code that created the Japanese mindset and made them success-oriented to an incredible degree-values and attitudes that continue to influence the behavior of the Japanese today. The book contains valuable lessons for achieving success in any endeavor.
