Product Description: Naval officer Matthew Perry set sail for Japan in 1852 with a small escort of ships and a huge commission-persuading the Japanese government to emerge from isolation and enter economic and diplomatic relations with the United States. Commodore Perry arrived in Japan the following year for preliminary negotiations and departed with a promise to return with a larger fleet; he did so, and achieved the first treaty between the United States and Japan. This is the dramatic story of Perry's extraordinary expedition and its far-reaching consequences, recounted in the commodore's own words. Based on Perry's journal, this gripping narrative features supplements from the diaries of other officers as well as from official correspondence and reports. supplements Exciting highlights include Perry's flagship dropping anchor in Tokyo Bay to a markedly chilly reception, tense diplomatic standoffs, and sumptuous parties hosted by representatives of both governments. Firsthand accounts of the many pitfalls between the initial Japanese reluctance to allow a permanent American presence in the islands and the ultimate signing of the treaty make for a thrilling, authentic account of the establishment of Japanese-American relations. Enhanced with over 200 rare illustrations, this remarkable historical document also offers a magnificent travelogue, brimming with revealing anecdotes and picturesque details about Singapore, Mauritius, Macao, the Bonin Islands, and other exotic locales.
