What Future for Japan?: U.S. Wartime Planning for the Postwar Era, 1942-1945: Amsterdam Monographs in American Studies, cartea 5

Autor Rudolf Janssens
en Limba Engleză Paperback – 31 dec 1994
Within a few months after the attack on Pearl Harbor, the United States government began to plan a policy for a defeated Japan. In order to avoid any future attacks on the United States, Japanese society had to be changed. Politicians, Japan specialists, historians, political scientists, and anthropologists debated the future of Japan. Topics ranged from the future role of the Emperor and politics, to Japanese economy, to re-education of the Japanese people. Eventually an overall policy for postwar Japan was formulated, which was to a high degree executed by General Douglas MacArthur during the Occupation of Japan.
This study is based on research in the records of the government policy planners, both private papers and official records. It is the first book-length study of the American planning for the occupation of Japan, including the drafting of policy, not only in the State Department but also in the War Department, Office of Strategic Services, and the Office of War Information. The analysis focuses on the development of strategies for remodeling postwar Japan as well as on the meaning of Japan constructed by various planners and decision makers and the impact of their constructions on American Occupation policy.

Recenzii

This is an unusually interesting and informative study. It examines how American officials, intellectuals, and public-opinion leaders developed their views of the Japanese enemy during the war, and how such images provided the point of departure for formulating policies for the occupation of Japan. The research is thorough, the analysis penetrating, and the style of presentation clear and persuasive. – Akira Iriye, Harvard University
