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. Already regarded as the
benchmark in its field, Embracing Defeat is a work of colossal
scholarship and history of the very first order. John W. Dower is
the Elting E. 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.
