Synopsis
Drawing on a vast range of sources, from manga comics to MacArthur's report to Congress, this monumental new work by America's foremost historian of modern Japan traces the impact of defeat and reconstruction on every aspect of Japan's national life. Alongside the familiar story of economic resurgence, Dower examines how the nation as a whole reacted to the contradictory experiences of humiliation at the hands of a foreign power and liberation from the demands of a suicidal nationalism. The result is a titanic history, and a landmark book.

About Brenda's Bookshelf
Brenda's Bookshelf was originally opened as Fort Logan Bookstore which was established in 1993 as a storefront and mail order business. The name change was due to Brenda's husband's serious health problems and the need to put the business in Brenda's name. Inventory was placed on the Internet in 1998 and has operated on several major book servers since then. It is located on a major highway in Central Texas.
