America's relationship with Japan recently passed its 140th
anniversary. Over that period, hundreds of books and thousands of
articles have explored different issues or periods of the
relationship. Yet within that vast library, no book has analyzed
the entire relationship from the beginning to the present. In
"Power Across the Pacific," William R. Nester fills this void,
analyzing both the geopolitical phase of America's relationship
with Japan (1853-1945) and its geoeconomic phase, from 1945 to the
present day.
William R. Nester systematically untangles the interrelated
perceptions, convergent and divergent national interests, and
shifting power relations that have shaped relations between the two
countries. Along the way he identifies the key foreign policy
figures for both countries, revealing the ways in which domestic
and international interests on both sides affected their
interactions. "Power Across the Pacific" can serve both as a
definitive study of the history of U.S.-Japanese relations, as well
as a reference for particular periods within that history.
