Japan in War and Peace
ISBN: 9781565842793 / Angielski / Miękka / 1995 / 384 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych. Drawing on decades of experience and research, John W. Dower, author of the award-winning "War Without Mercy," highlights for the first time the resemblances between wartime, postwar, and contemporary Japan. He argues persuasively that the origins of many of the institutions responsible for Japan's dominant position in today s global economy derive from the rapid military industrialization of the 1930s, and not from the post-occupation period, as many have assumed. A brilliant lead essay, The Useful War, sets the tone for the volume by incisively showing how much of Japan s postwar political...

Cultures of War: Pearl Harbor/Hiroshima/9-11/Iraq
ISBN: 9780393061505 / Angielski / Twarda / 2010 / 640 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 22 dni roboczych. Turning to an even larger canvas, Dower now examines the cultures of war revealed by four powerful events--Pearl Harbor, Hiroshima, 9-11, and the invasion of Iraq in the name of a war on terror. The list of issues examined and themes explored is wide-ranging: failures of intelligence and imagination, wars of choice and "strategic imbecilities," faith-based secular thinking as well as more overtly holy wars, the targeting of noncombatants, and the almost irresistible logic--and allure--of mass destruction. Dower's new work also sets the U.S. occupations of Japan and Iraq side by side in...

He traces the fate of sixty-five shipwrecked Australian nurses and British soldiers who were shot...

Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Aftermath of World War II
ISBN: 9780140285512 / Angielski / Miękka / 2000 / 688 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 12 dni roboczych. Drawing on a range of sources from manga comics to MacArthur's report to Congress, John Dower examines the impact of military defeat and occupation on an exhausted and traumatized population. Focussing on American policy, and the Japanese response to collapse, he demonstrates how the mix of East and West in modern Japan derives from the period immediately after World War II. Alongside the familiar story of economic resurgence, Dower provides an account of the recreation of private life after years of regimentation and sacrifice.
