An Outstanding Book
Lensen's narrative of the Admiral Putiatin's 1853-54 mission offers a unique perspective on the 1854 "opening" of Japan. Most American historians give Commodore Perry far too much credit and discount Putiatin's efforts, but Lensen shows that Putiatin's presence had a decisive influence on the Japanese decision to negotiate. Plus, Putiatin gained a better treaty for the Russians than Perry did for the Americans. In addition to its scholarly treatment of the material, Lensen's book is a rip-roaring good sailor's tale. Few academic books read as well or are as engaging as this one.
