Yet Crump possesses an enticing flare for imagery, and one is never bereft of mental pictures of police breaking up scantily attended meetings and militant strikes. The work was an entertaining and informative read. Alas, while comprehensive, informative, and, for all the time that Crump devotes to his subject and time period, little is said on the subsequent impact or lack thereof of the Pure Anarchists.

Crump refreshingly devotes some time to assessing the feasibility of Hatta's vision. And while he convincingly demonstrates the chain of affairs that ultimately led to the demise of Japanese anarchism and the establishment of the fascist state, it would have been informative had Crump commented or at least speculated on the subsequent eclipsing of Hatta and pure Anarchism by Kotoku and Ohsugi within Japanese anarchism.

It was also a pity that Crump wasn't more merciless in his condemnation of European, American, and even many Japanese anarchists' virtual blindness about the anarchist past in Japan. Yet for all its faults, I recommend this book for the alternative picture it paints of social movements in interwar Japan.

Crump rightly chides the soulless materialism into which the motherland has collapsed, and he does many a western reader a favor by dispelling the illusion of the Japanese worker as a slavish salaryman. Still, if any society is afflicted with the malices of "late-Capitalism" it is Japan, and this book provides a heartening reassurance that there is a healthy tradition of radical thought in Japanese intellectual and political history that could someday be revived.
