Über diesen Titel
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, the enmity is between these three "tiger" nations and what prevents them from making peace. Currently, China's 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 continue 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 in-depth look at some of the world's most powerful and important countries.

The part about Japan was fine but after that it went downhill fast. I really wanted to hear the whole audio book, the voice is great, but I couldn't. It just feels like the author loves Japan and hates Korea and China. it maybe something for someone but I m not interested in a rant. so I am very disappointed now.
The other thing is that there where multiple facts that are just wrong. for example: In the Japan Part Caption 5. he says that Japan has more Millionaires than Germany and China combined. A Quick peak at Wikipedia will show you that China alone has about 4500 and Japan only 3000 and added with the ones from Germany it would be 6500(DE+CN) vs 3000(JP) and I dont know how you can get something like this wrong... even if you would add up the total money the citizens own or something like that it won't add up... the book was published January 2020 and the data I am referring to and Wikipedia(and statistika) is from 2019. So the only thing I can think of how the author got this so wrong is using a source older than 2008.
there are several occurrences like that wich take a lot of time to research if you spot them...
I know this book is in no way a scientific work but that doesn't allow it to bring up wrong facts. Bcause of these circumstances i cannot recommend this book and it felt like a waste of my time and money. would refund if i could...
miss-information and sometimes biased
