Synopsis

"Most ambassadors leave the country to which they were accredited with history and political relations they found on their arrival pretty much unchanged. And considering the kind of people who get to be ambassadors these days, that is a very good thing. The great exception of all recent times was Edwin O Reisehauer. Going to Japan in 1961, he found a tense, uneasy, sometimes hostile government, press and people; when he left five years later, relations were transformed and the credit belongs overwhelmingly to Reisehauer. This book tells in lucid and engaging details of the unique experience he brought to the task and how he accomplished it." John Kenneth Galbraith
