Customer Reviews

A collection of papers on Japan before and after WWII

John Dower is the outstanding figure in the field of cold war, especially in Japan. His Pulitzer awarded book, 'Embracing Defeat', could be regarded as the cream of his career. If you read it already, you don't need to pick up this, I think. This book is no more than a collection of essays. So you chould not expect any integrity among papers. You'd better select essay to your needs. Sure, the quality of essays is not bad.
