Yasuhiro Nakasone, who served as prime minister for more than five
years in the 1980s, was one of Japan's leading postwar politicians.
This book is a biography of him but, by interweaving in
international politics and media appraisals of him, it also serves
as an examination of Japan's postwar politics. Nakasone was an
innovative conservative who actively criticized the conservative
mainstream, and this book reveals from both domestic and foreign
policy perspectives how the Liberal Democratic Party governed. The
Nakasone government served as not only the final phase of the Cold
War era of LDP factional politics but also as the starting point
for the general mainstream faction system that followed. With the
lengthy passage of time since the end of the Cold War and the
collapse of Japan's 1955 party system, there is a need to reassess
Nakasone, showing that there was much more to him than the popular
picture of him as a far-right hawk who loudly advocated for Japan
to engage in autonomous self-defense and as an opportunist leader
of a small faction, and to place the era in which Nakasone lived
its proper historical context.
