In this novel and intriguing book, Michael Schaller traces the origins of the Cold War in Asia to the postwar occupation of Japan by U.S. troops. Determined to secure Japan as a bulwark against both Soviet expansion and Asian revolution, the U.S. instituted ambitious social and economic reforms under the direction of the flamboyant Occupation Commander, General Douglas MacArthur. MacArthur was later denounced by the Truman Administration as a ""bunko artist"" who had wrecked Japan's economy and opened it to Communist influence, and power was shifted to Japan's old elite.

Despite the enduring importance of the U.S.-Japan security alliance, the broader relationship between the two countries is today beset by sobering new difficulties. In this comprehensive comparative analysis of the transpacific alliance and its political, economic, and social foundations, Kent E. Calder, a leading Japan specialist, asserts that bilateral relations between the two countries are dangerously eroding as both seek broader options in a globally oriented world.Calder documents the quiet erosion of America's multidimensional ties with Japan as China rises, generations change, and new forces arise in both American and Japanese politics. He then assesses consequences for a twenty-first-century military alliance with formidable coordination requirements, explores alternative foreign paradigms for dealing with the United States, adopted by Britain, Germany, and China, and offers prescriptions for restoring U.S.-Japan relations to vitality once again.

"Hawaii, December 7, 1941, shortly before 8 a.m.: Japanese torpedo bombers launch a surprise attack on the US Pacific fleet anchored in Pearl Harbor. The devastating attack claims the lives of over 2,400 American soldiers, sinks or damages eighteen ships, and destroys nearly 350 aircraft. The US Congress declares war on Japan the following day. In this vivid and lively book, Takuma Melber breathes new life into the dramatic events that unfolded before, during, and after Pearl Harbor by putting the perspective of the Japanese attackers at the center. Most other histories of Pearl Harbor are told from the American point of view, so by giving attention to the Japanese perspective as well, Melber is able to provide a richer, more comprehensive and more balanced account of the battle, its conditions, and its consequences. He sheds new light on the long negotiations that went on between the Japanese and Americans in 1941, and shows how US intelligence and military leaders in Washington misinterpreted the information they had about Japanese war intentions. Melber's description of the battle itself is informed by the latest research and benefits from including the plannng and post-raid assessment made by the Japanese commanders. This balanced and thorougly researched book deepens our understanding of the battle that precipitated America's entry into the war and will appeal to anyone interested in World War II and military history."--
