In 1945, Germany and Japan suffered crushing defeats in World War II, but by 1960 they were the second- and fifth-largest economies in the world. How did these two countries rebuild their war-ravaged economies and become prosperous nations? What lies behind the German and Japanese economic miracles?

Historian Raymond Stokes answers these questions by comparing the development paths of Germany and Japan, finding unexpected parallels. He focuses on both individuals and companies, as well as the global political and economic context. Stokes's detailed yet simply written book provides insight into the postwar era and helps us see events in a new light. It is an important reminder that even after chaos and devastation, hope and renewal are possible.
