The book provides an historical overview of the development of the movement as an educational reform society and its transformation into a sect of Nichiren Buddhism. It provides important details of Soka Gakkai's entry into Japanese politics, including up-to-date information on the relationship between the Komeito the political party founded by the Soka Gakkai and the Liberal Democratic Party its historical opponent in Japanese politics and present partner in the ruling coalition.
