This is a book that will change the American perception of the
Pacific War. One important question is: Who actually started the
Pacific War? By examining recently discovered facts revealed
through the declassification of official documents, the decoding of
secret communications between the Soviet Union and its operatives,
and findings from American and Japanese writers in recent decades,
the author clarifies the role played by President Franklin D.
Roosevelt and members of his cabinet in pushing Japan to the brink
of war. Another notable analysis concerns the U.S. occupation of
Japan immediately after the war. The author finds it as a
spectacular success in politically castrating Japan. The impact is
still clearly observable. Many Japanese have lost the sense of
nationhood as a result. The author examines the historical
background of U.S.-Japan relations from the visit of Commodore
Matthew Perry in 1853 to the present day. Utilized a wealth of
Japanese as well as American materials, he presents a view of the
history of the two countries. He finds that Japan was not very
skillful in utilizing code-breaking or information-warfare, but
tried to liberate colonies in Asia and Africa, and indeed her
effort was successful and ultimately resulted in the loss of
Western Colonies including India, Indonesia, Burma, and Malaysia.
After reviewing nearly two hundred years of history, the author
urges contemporary Japanese to be free from the self-incriminating
view of history and to be confident that the nation is on a right
track.
