Leaving Japan: Observations on a Dysfunctional U.S.-Japan Relationship

Capa
Routledge, 08/07/2016 - 208 páginas
A critique of America's flawed Asia policy that centres on US-Japan relations but harkens back to the same disastrous views that drew America into Vietnam. The technique is a narrative flow of short vignettes woven into longer chapters; the main strands are personal reflections and interviews.
