Lafeber, Walter The Clash. a History of U. S. - Japan Relations.
New York W. W. Norton & Company 1997 0393039501 / 9780393039504 First Edition Hardcover Very Good in Very Good dust jacket
Xxii, 508 pages, 6 plates, maps, cloth, DJ, very good. First edition. From Kirkus Reviews: "A scholar's perceptive rundown on the contentiousness that has defined America's relations with Japan down through the years. Drawing on archival and other sources, LaFeber (The American Age, 1988, etc. ) offers an even-handed account of the deep-rooted conflicts that have kept the two nations at odds right from the start, i. E. , the mid-1853 moment when Commodore Perry swept into Yedo Bay with a letter from President Millard Fillmore inviting the emperor of Japan to open his insular, feudal country (which then traded only with the Chinese and Dutch) to the US. He goes on to document the consistent way in which Washington has viewed Asia as a frontier that must remain open to trade while Tokyo (with an eye to retaining control over its foreign policy and, hence, domestic order) was ever intent on barring offshore capital and goods from home markets. At critical junctures, notes the author (History/Cornell Univ. ) , the focus of the resulting commercial conflicts has been mainland China; cases in point range from the preWW I era (when the Meiji Restoration brought Japan into the industrial age) through WW I and into the 1970s, when Japan emerged as an economic force. LaFeber also records how cultural divergences, in particular, vastly different approaches to governance, competition, and capitalism, have created constant friction over time. Closer to the present, he reviews how the Cold War's abrupt end reduced Japan's value to the US as a strategic partner in the struggle against communism, albeit without resolving many of the seemingly intractable disputes that have long kept the two rivals for Pacific Basin riches at loggerheads. A ready one-volume reference to a protracted confrontation that has consequential implications for the whole of the Global Village. " B11-2 ; 508 pages
