I was looking to get a few books on japanese history. Im mostly interested right now in the periods starting with the Rise of the Tokugawa shogunate, to the present (present meaning WW2).

I have some books on my amazon wishlist that I was thinking about getting, but I was curious if anyone had any other recommendations.

Here are some of the ones I have on my wishlist:

War in Japan 1467-1615 (Essential Histories)

The Making of Modern Japan

The Modern History of Japan: From Tokugawa Times to the Present



I can find all sorts of books on chinese history, but i have had issues finding good books about Pre-world war two japan.

Thanks for the help.
