small bend at top corner of front cover; otherwise clean and tight with no marks. Publisher's Weekly Nomura Securities, the Japanese brokerage, dwarfs like American houses in profitability. Tracing how a small Osaka money-changing firm became a dominant force in world finance--surviving bank panics, General Douglas MacArthur's dismemberment of corporate Japan, competitors and internal corruption--Alletzhauser, a stockbroker, points up indigenous or peculiar features of Japan's business world. Payment of hush-money to racketeers who knew too much about financial, political or sexual scandals became an institutionalized feature at Nomura, and to gain tactical control over its labor force night and day, thousands of single men are housed in Nomura's cement-block dormitories. In this colorful company history, the author draws the curtain on a low-profile giant. Photos. 50,000 first printing. (Apr.) Library Journal The house of Nomura is one of several large financial conglomerates (or zajbatsu ) which currently influence the Japanese and world business environment. Though Nomura is not a recognizable name in most parts of America, the financial assets controlled by the group are enormous. Alletzhauser, an American stockbroker who spent two years in Tokyo, tells the history of Nomura from its beginning in 1872 through two wars to its present-day stature as one of the most influential financial groups in the world. The story abounds with insights into Japanese society and culture, making it a thoroughly captivating experience for a wide range of readership.-- Joseph Barth, U.S. Military Acad. Lib., West Point, N.Y.
