Lonny E. Carlile. Divisions of Labor: Globality, Ideology, and War in the Shaping of the Japanese Labor Movement. Honolulu: University of HawaiÎi Press. 2005. Pp. x, 292. $55.00.

Lonny E. Carlile's book is welcome on two counts. First, it provides a lively narrative of the political history of the Japanese labor movement from 1945 to the early 1960s. Second, it puts that history into comparative perspective by interspersing detailed chapters on Japan with chapters on parallel developments in France, Italy, and Germany, to emphasize that the political trajectory of Japanese labor was largely determined by the same global forces that shaped the course of European labor in this period. "Divisions of labor" refers to ideological and organizational divisions within the labor movement and its allied political parties and also to "divisions" in the sense of labor organizations mobilized for "war," be it class war, the struggle for power in the labor movement, or taking sides in the Cold War.
