Should the English title be "History of Indian Buddhism"?

We may already of the Chinese translation of the book by the Japanese author. Just volume one though, which was printed for free distribution in Taiwan. I can't tell for sure from the author's name as I'm not able to compare between Kanji and Romanised Japanese. Can anyone help?
