Many of you are already familiar with James Corbett.
He is a modern day, young historian from Canada, now living in Japan, who has paid particular attention to the developments as of our generations.
In this study, he has compiled a comprehensive compilation of goals, players, historicals, development and aims into a coherent picture to describe the factors many of us know all too well.

-Keep the lights on, fellow travelers.
