Niall Murtagh spent his twenties on the open road: hitchhiking to Istanbul, crossing the Atlantic in a home-built yacht and trekking through Patagonia. In 1986 he drifted to Japan where he made an extraordinary flip by settling down. He jumped in at the deep end and joined one of the most traditional and conservative companies in the East: Mitsubishi.
‘A fascinating and engaging book ... a rare inside look at corporate life in Japan, one that's worth more than a dozen business-school studies.’
— Matthew Lynn, Bloomberg
‘Murtagh gives a fascinating account of a system that is misunderstood, even satirised, in the West.’
— Iain Finlayson, Culture Vulture Books
