Paperback. Condition: Very Good. Drawing on a vast range of Japanese sources and illustrated with dozens of astonishing documentary photographs, Embracing Defeat is the fullest and most important history of the more than six years of American occupation, which affected every level of Japanese society, often in ways neither side could anticipate. Dower, whom Stephen E. Ambrose has called America's foremost historian of the Second World War in the Pacific, gives us the rich and turbulent interplay between West and East, the victor and the vanquished, in a way never before attempted, from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes and fears of men and women in every walk of life.

Morison Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for War Without Mercy.…

Hardback. Condition: Good. Looks at Japanese politics, economics and society, to explore the continuity between wartime Japan and peacetime Japan. The book draws on decades of research to present a study that looks at what lies behind Japanese society today. He argues persuasively that the origins of many of the institutions responsible for Japan's dominant position in today's global economy derive from the rapid military industrialization of the 1930s, and not from the post-occupation period as previous accounts have implied. The book begins with an incisive account that shows that Japan's post-war political and economic structure was prefigured in the wartime organization of that country. Then Dower looks beyond the popular images of Japan - whether the idea of the "fanatical nation-at-war" or the semi-mystical "economic miracle nation" - to examine the tensions within Japanese society that have shaped its attitude to the rest of Asia and the West. He discusses the stereotypes that both Japan and the West used in order to demonize each other during the war, and explores the ways in which these stereotypes have endured to this day.
