I blame the publishers, as I am certain the subtitle "Reflections on Modern Miracles" was not the author's creation. But I was disappointed by the book because I expected it to be more reflective.

One of his main focuses was on repatriating samurai swords which had been taken from captured or dead Japanese soldiers.
