Recenzii
"... O'Connor captures the superheated atmosphere of the times in this immensely detailed work, one that is likely to become the definitive study of the period's press networks. Like other standard works (one thinks of Peter Ackroyd's magisterial, "London: The Biography"), it sets the bar very high for those who follow."
Stephen Mansfield, The Japan Times ONLINE, (20 March, 2011)
"... Anyone eager to learn about the prewar history of the foreign press in Japan could not ask for a better, sharper guide. The English-Language Press Networks of East Asia, is a highly detailed, valuable analysis that won’t have to be done again. O’Connor is your man."
Roger Buckley, Number 1 Shimbun, (February 2011)
"... Professor O’Connor has delivered the theoretical and detailed goods on what today is trendily known as the global information highway. Journos and historians of east Asia should order their copies pronto. Satisfaction guaranteed."
Henry Hilton, Japan Today, (2011)
"... In conclusion this is a useful and most welcome study that shines a great deal of light into this previously murky aspect of Western relations with Japan... the appearance of O'Connor's book means we are getting a much greater understanding of the role of the media in the crucial deades leading up to the Pacific War and that is a development that is of great value for all historians of those turbulent years."
Antony Best, Japan Forum, 23:2, (August 2011)
"... 'This book,' the author starts boldly, 'argues that the English-language press of East Asia played a significant role in the shaping of international perceptions of Japan and East Asia (page 1).' Professor O’Connor justifies this claim with a wealth of detail gleaned from years of research in the field and from countless publications on the subject of Japanese government propaganda..."
Ian Nish, The Japan Society Review, (August 2011)
"... Richly illustrated with mugshots of the media movers and shakers at the heart of the enterprise - many of them British, with a substantial Anglo-Irish contingent - this erudite study is packed with seedy drama, media endgames and the surly but determined adventures of Japan's 'publicity warriors' during the Pacific War..."
Andrew Barrow, The Oldie, (March 2012)
"...O’Connor is to be commended for the patience with which he sifted through a vast amount of English and Japanese-language sources to identify the many individual actors of this story and the interconnecte interests which bound them into various networks. This task was particularly difficult since the lines of action of these actors were not always consistent, a fact which had the potential to undermine the overall cohesiveness of the press network as an 'informal accumulation[s] of commonalities of editorial line, worldview and commercial interest' (p. 66)..."
