From the author of The Almost Nearly Perfect People, a lively tour through Japan, Korea, and China, exploring the intertwined cultures and often fraught history of these neighboring countries.There is an ancient Chinese proverb that states, Two tigers cannot share the same mountain. However, in East Asia, there are three tigers on that mountain: China, Japan, and Korea, and they have a long history of turmoil and tension with each other. In his latest entertaining and thought provoking narrative travelogue, Michael Booth sets out to discover how deep, really, is the enmity between these three tiger nations, and what prevents them from making peace. Currently Chinas economic power continues to grow, Japan is becoming more militaristic, and Korea struggles to reconcile its westernized south with the dictatorial Communist north. Booth, long fascinated with the region, travels by car, ferry, train, and foot, experiencing the people and culture of these nations up close. No matter where he goes, the burden of history, and the memory of past atrocities, continues to overshadow present relationships. Ultimately, Booth seeks a way forward for these closely intertwined, neighboring nations.An enlightening, entertaining and sometimes sobering journey through China, Japan, and Korea, Three Tigers, One Mountain is an intimate and indepth look at some of the worlds most powerful and important countries.

This book offers a lot of insights on the historical relations between these three countries. I found the narrative a bit dense at times, which made it hard to stay focused. Still, the perspectives on current conflicts were really eye-opening. Worth the read if you have the patience!

Not What I Expected
Honestly, I was hoping for a more narrative-driven book, but this one felt a bit dry. The analysis is there, but I struggled with the writing style. I expected more storytelling, given the subject matter. It’s informative, but not really my cup of tea.

A Deep Dive into History
I picked up this book mainly for its focus on the historical conflicts in East Asia. The way it delves into the bitter histories of China, Korea, and Japan is truly enlightening. It’s a heavy read, but the storytelling makes it engaging. Anyone interested in Asian history should definitely check it out!
