After a distinguished career as a jurist in Germany, Alfred Oppler
came to the United States in 1939, and in 1946 was invited to
Tokyo, where he was SCAP's authority on reform of the Japanese
legal order to implement the principles of the new Constitution.
Here is his account of the legal reforms and the methods used to
achieve them. The author describes the wide scope of his
activities, which included a vigorous promotion of civil liberties,
surveillance of relevant legislation, and observation of the
administration of justice throughout the country. He focuses on the
Continental nature of the Japanese law and analyzes the American
objectives as well as the personalities of the Occupation and of
Japanese with whom he negotiated. Special chapters describe the
Supreme Court mission to the United States (which the author
escorted), the removal of General MacArthur, and the author's
post-Occupation work on Japanese, Korean, and Ryukyuan problems.
Treating all aspects of the legal reforms, this book provides
insights into Japan during and after the Occupation. Originally
published in 1976. The Princeton Legacy Library uses the latest
print-on-demand technology to again make available previously
out-of-print books from the distinguished backlist of Princeton
University Press. These editions preserve the original texts of
these important books while presenting them in durable paperback
and hardcover editions. The goal of the Princeton Legacy Library is
to vastly increase access to the rich scholarly heritage found in
the thousands of books published by Princeton University Press
since its founding in 1905.
