One year ahead of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics, former Sasin faculty member Roy Tomizawa has written a book about the first time the Summer Olympic Games was hosted in Tokyo. 1964 – The Greatest Year in the History of Japan: How the Tokyo Olympics Symbolized Japan’s Miraculous Rise from the Ashes tells the story of how Japan rose from the rubble of World War II to embark on the greatest Asian economic miracle of the 20th century. Tomizawa’s third book includes a range of stories from the 1964 Olympics, an event that “created a level of alignment and national pride never before seen in Japan, leaving an indelible mark in the psyche of the Japanese for generations.”   Ajarn Roy taught management communications at Sasin from November 1995 to March 2003. He helped develop Sasin’s first website with current Sasin Director, Professor Ian Fenwick, and wrote a significant amount of the content for that first website, including the tagline “Sharpening Minds, Shaping Leaders”. While at Sasin, he published two books (Working with the Thais, and Start Up and Stay Up in Thailand), and wrote a two-part case study for the Sasin Journal on the Standard Chartered acquisition of Nakornthon Bank. 1964 – The Greatest Year in the History of Japan: How the Tokyo Olympics Symbolized Japan’s Miraculous Rise from the Ashes can be purchased online at https://book.theolympians.co/
