Using recently released archival material from the US and Japan,
this book critically re-examines US-Japanese relations during the
tenure of Sato Eisaku, Japan's longest serving prime minister.
During these critical years in the Cold War in Asia, with the
Vietnam War raging and the acquisition by China of a nuclear
capability, Sato closely aligned with the US. This directly
contributed to his success in securing the reversion of Okinawa and
other Japanese territories which had remained under US control
since Japan's surrender at the end of World War II. To accomplish
this he was also forced to conclude secret agreements with
President Richard Nixon, including one on nuclear weapons, which
are explored fully. Sato faced the challenge of the Nixon
administration's attempts to shore up the relative decline in
American power with policies at odds with allied interests. Sato
successfully overcame such challenges and also laid the groundwork
for Japan's anti-nuclear policy.
