Gilbert Rozman received his Ph.D. from Princeton University in 1971, where he has taught since that time. His books and articles concern four countries in Northeast Asia: China, Japan, Russia, and South Korea.

“The role of history and memory in bilateral relations has lately become a big subject in the field. This volume goes much further by exploring the role of the United States in managing historical controversies between its allies (Japan and South Korea), as well as between an ally (South Korea) and a competitor (China). It is a must-read for anyone interested in ‘soft clashes’ in the region of East Asia.” —Jae Ho Chung, Seoul National University
