The subjects covered in this collection will appeal to a range
of scholars, specialists, and general readers. The contributions of
the Japanese scholars will not go unnoticed either for they draw on
many primary sources in Japan that have yet to be translated into
English and therefore offer a unique perspective on the events and
individuals discussed in the essays. By focusing on both the US and
Japan, this work provides easy access to the competing perspectives
of the two nations, a competition that is enhanced by examinations
of individuals and events, which have often been overlooked. The
evolution of Japanese strategic goals prior to WWII, for example,
was not limited to the vision of Yamamoto any more than the
post-war relationship that emerged was defined exclusively by
Douglas Macarthur. The Cold War has ended, but the relationship
shared by the US and Japan plays a central roll in the GWOT.
Overall, the range of topics covered by these essays adds depth to
any understanding of the strategies and relations pursued by the
two countries while providing a foundation for understanding the
relationship as it continues to evolve today.
