Tokyo Vice: An American Reporter on the Police Beat in Japan by Jake Adelstein

4.0

Wow, what a book. Really gives a street-level view of what it is like to work as a foreigner in Japan. He presents a view of Japan most foreigners would not imagine. The book's first two parts were for me the most interesting. The last part is the most jaw dropping, but his journalistic style got a little exhaustive. Glad he's doing this work to protect the vulnerable in Japan, because it's apparent it isn't getting done by the Japanese themselves. Women, especially foreign women, are tragically second-class citizens in Japan.
