In 1942, Hugh Borton, then a 39-year-old assistant professor of
Japanese history, was called to serve in the State Department. Here
he rose rapidly to become one of the principal architects of United
States policy toward post-war Japan. Drawn from Borton's personal
papers, this work provides a fresh and intimate picture of the man
who played a pivotal role in defining the meaning of unconditional
surrender for Japan, retaining the Emperor, and designing Japan's
post-war constitution. It sheds new light on the development of the
United States' post-war Japanese policy and the often-fractious
relationships between the various agencies tasked with its creation
and implementation. The author of Japan's Modern Century, director
of Columbia University's East Asian Institute, and later president
of the Association for Asian Studies, Hugh Borton dedicated his
life to strengthening the academic, cultural, and humanitarian ties
between Japan and the United States.
