Miyazawa Kiichi played a leading role in Japan's government and
politics from 1942 until 2003, during which time he served as Prime
Minister, and also as Minister of Finance, Minister of Foreign
Affairs, Minister of International Trade and Industry, Director
General of the Economic Planning Agency, and Chief Cabinet
Secretary. In this oral history autobiography, he discusses with
candor and detail a wide range of topics, including his 1939 visit
to the United States, recovery policies during the postwar
occupation, the San Francisco Peace Treaty, and Japan's role in
international organizations such as GATT and OECD, and gives a
thoughtful insider's view of six decades of Japanese politics,
closing with his thoughts on Japan's role in the 21st century.
Miyazawa's testimony contains the unmistakable richness of the
words of one who was present as history was being made. The
political candor, unmatched scope, and largely first-person
narrative make this book unique.
