"One of the few non-Japanese Americans trained to read, write, and speak Japanese, Princeton undergraduate Grant Goodman had a privileged position during World War II. As an Army lieutenant, Goodman served in the Philippines at the close of the war and in Tokyo as an intelligence officer on General Douglas MacArthur's staff. Goodman translated thousands of letters, interviews, and other documents by Japanese citizens of all kinds, and came to know, as few Americans could, the "hearts and minds" of a defeated people as they moved slowly to democracy." "This book is not only a personal chronicle of Grant Goodman's unique experience in Japan. Moving deftly between his role as an Army officer gathering essential information and as a young scholar fascinated by Japanese culture, he provides a vividly drawn portrait of daily life in occupied Tokyo." "Here he looks back at signal events: Japan's responses to occupation, the writing of the new constitution and the de-deification of the Emperor, the International Military Tribunal and the issue of Japanese war crimes, reactions by ordinary Japanese to American occupiers, and much more." "September 2, 2005, marks the sixtieth anniversary of the Japanese surrender on the deck of the U.S.S. Missouri. First published in Japanese in 1986, America's Japan is not only superb history. It is also a timely reminder of the realities of war and the responsibilities of victors and vanquished alike."--Jacket.

Kohn Pedersen Fox a été créé à New York en 1976 et a rapidement marqué son empreinte sur la scène de l'architecture internationale avec des bâtiments comme 333 Walcker Drive à Chicago (1979-1983), la DG Bank Headquarters à Francfort (1986-1993). Ce bureau devient un des plus créatifs ; sa présence en Europe est importante depuis l'ouverture des bureaux KPF à Londres en 1988. Cet ouvrage présente une sélection de 19 bâtiments.
