Descripción hardcover. Condición: new. First Edition. More than any historian of his generation John Dower has changed the way we view our relations with Japan In his prizewinning War Without Mercy Dower showed the depth of the racial antagonism that gave the war in the Pacific its particularly violent and brutal tone In Japan in War and Peace he examines unexplored continuities and connections in Japanese politics economics and society at largeDrawing on decades of experience and research Dower highlights resemblances between wartime postwar and contemporary Japan He argues persuasively that the origins of many of the institutions responsible for Japans dominant position in todays global economy derive from the rapid military industrialization of the 1930s and not from the postOccupation period as many have assumed The brilliant lead essay The Useful War sets the tone for the volume by incisively showing how much of Japans postwar political and economic structure was prefigured in the wartime organization of that countryJapan in War and Peace goes beyond the popular images of Japanese culture whether the idea of the fanatical nation at war or the mystified vision of a postwar economic miracle to examine the tensions within Japanese society that have shaped its outlook toward the rest of Asia and the West These pathbreaking essays also deal with such subjects as Japanese wartime cinema Japans own hapless attempts to build an atomic bomb the social upheaval revealed in the secret wartime records of the Thought Police and the dynamics of the postwar US Occupation of JapanDowers final essays frankly discuss the stereotypes that Japan and the United States used to demonize each other during the war which to this day play a role in their relations as alliesThis new book from one of the foremost American observers of contemporary Japan is essential reading for all people attempting to understand a nation that has emerged as one of the superpowers in a fastchanging world.
