Description
This analytical history of American policy toward Japan fills that void; it does not simply chronicle events, it tries systematically to make sense of them. It untangles the interrelated perceptions, convergent and divergent national interests, and shifting power relations which have shaped American policies toward Japan. More specifically, this study highlights the personalities, national moods, domestic issues and political alignments, and other pressing international concerns within which Washington has attempted to define and assert its interests in Japan.
