Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book contains the collected correspondence between high-ranking US government officials regarding the United States's effort to establish diplomatic relations with Japan in the mid-1800s, following two centuries of isolationist policy. The collection begins with a directive from the US Secretary of the Navy to Commodore Matthew C. Perry to lead an expedition to Japan with the goals of securing better treatment of shipwrecked American sailors and opening trade relations. The book also features letters between Perry and various Japanese officials. In addition to providing a fascinating look at a key moment in US-Japan relations, the book offers insights into the challenges of cross-cultural diplomacy, particularly when one party has a long history of isolation.
