Beskrivning

This new set of reflections looks at key 20th Century moments in the relationship between the US and Japan, focusing on Japanese perceptions of the US: how the Japanese saw Hiroshima, the American occupation and the changes in their own lives. Readers also catch a glimpse of Japanese attitudes towards their own war crimes. Finally, Dower offers blistering comments of George W. Bush's attempts to justify the invasion of Iraq by citing Dower's own work on the US occupation of Japan.
