This book was released on 2021-07-06 with total page 457 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A new history of Rotary International shows how the organization reinforced capitalist values and cultural practices at home and tried to remake the world in the idealized image of Main Street America. Rotary International was born in Chicago in 1905. By the time World War II was over, the organization had made good on its promise to Ògirdle the globe.Ó Rotary International and the Selling of American Capitalism explores the meteoric rise of a local service club that brought missionary zeal to the spread of American-style economics and civic ideals. Brendan Goff traces RotaryÕs ideological roots to the business progressivism and cultural internationalism of the United States in the early twentieth century. The key idea was that community service was intrinsic to a capitalist way of life. The tone of Òservice above selfÓ was often religious, but, as Rotary looked abroad, it embraced Woodrow WilsonÕs secular message of collective security and international cooperation: civic internationalism was the businessmanÕs version of the Christian imperial civilizing mission, performed outside the state apparatus. The target of this mission was both domestic and global. The Rotarian, the organizationÕs publication, encouraged Americans to see the world as friendly to Main Street values, and Rotary worked with US corporations to export those values. Case studies of Rotary activities in Tokyo and Havana show the group paving the way for encroachments of US powerÑeconomic, political, and culturalÑduring the interwar years. RotaryÕs evangelism on behalf of market-friendly philanthropy and volunteerism reflected a genuine belief in peacemaking through the worldÕs Òparliament of businessmen.Ó But, as Goff makes clear, Rotary also reinforced American power and interests, demonstrating the tension at the core of US-led internationalism.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me: A Quest for The Dawn of Peace chronicles one man’s lifelong pursuit of peace before and after the Pacific War. Takashi Komatsu’s incredible story is told alongside Japan’s pre- and post-WWII history and the country’s remarkable rebirth as a vibrant democratic global economic powerhouse. Komatsu’s journey—from an unsettled youth, to the refuge of New York City’s YMCA as a new immigrant, to the delivery of Harvard’s 1911 commencement address—proves that real life can be stranger than fiction. The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me traces Komatsu's extraordinary life as he rose to the head of a large shipping company in Japan, befriended the heir to the last shogunate and the US Ambassador, and became a respected international businessman and statesman. Risking incarceration and assassination, Komatsu made choices that defied military rulers and right-wing extremists as they edged Japan toward war and devoured a democracy. Within days of the war’s end, inconceivable events led General MacArthur, the Supreme Commander of the Occupation Forces, to seek Komatsu's aid to help rebuild Japan and restore amity with the United States. Repairing friendship between the two countries was complex and daunting. Komatsu went far beyond forging relationships with US presidents, ambassadors, scholars, philanthropists, and leaders in the public and private sectors of both Japan and the United States. His legacy is a powerful reminder of the importance of tenacity, empathy, and understanding in international affairs. If you enjoy books like Malcolm Gladwell’s The Bomber Mafia, you’ll love The Cherry Tree Weeps for Me. Find out what transpired after the devastation and one man’s unsung influence that restored a stolen democracy. Book Review 1: “Wilson takes us on a wonderful deep dive into Takashi Komatsu's incredible life and dedication to peace and friendship between the US and Japan. In the years following the 1951 San Francisco Peace Treaty, Komatsu played a pivotal role in fostering cultural exchange and understanding between the US and Japan, including his work with John D. Rockefeller III to bring the Shofuso House to life (First exhibited at MoMA in New York City and now permanently displayed in Philadelphia).” -- Alan Wilkis Artist (Big Data), Music Producer, and Composer for Film and TV Book Review 2: "With the skill of a seasoned storyteller, Wilson paints a vivid portrait of a man who straddled two worlds; from Takashi Komatsu's beginnings as a twelve-year-old boy venturing overseas to seek his destiny, to his pivotal role in shaping Japanese-American relations in the wake of World War II." -- Monte Francis Multiple Emmy Award-winning journalist and news presenter, France 24; Author of Ice and Bone and By Their Father’s Hand Book Review 3: “Wilson tells the story not only of the unsung hero, Takashi Komatsu, who was educated at my alma mater, but of the history of the relationship between Japan and the United States. He ties together these threads and alerts us to the incredible coincidences. These included living next door to a curious younger boy in Monmouth, Illinois, who would later become responsible for one-half of the US occupation of Japan and, by happenstance, cross paths with Komatsu in Tokyo after 35 years of separation. They would collaborate to begin reconstruction, and their sons would become Monmouth College classmates after the war.” -- Dan Cotter Member of the Board of Trustees of Monmouth College. 2024-25 President of the National Board of Bar Presidents. Author “The Chief Justices – The Seventeen Men of the Center Seat, Their Courts, and Their Times.” Book Review 4: “Unearthing the obscure life of an unsung hero, Wilson’s newest book masterfully unravels how Komatsu emerges as a catalyst for unity and prosperity in post-WWII Japan. It provokes introspection on the age-old quandary of ‘what next’ after conflict termination. Perhaps Wilson employs Komatsu’s character and actions to inspire Americans during this time of extreme political divisiveness and mistrust. Will we forsake revenge and retribution by uniting to fortify peace, democracy, and prosperity? If so, who will emerge as our Komatsu?" -- Colonel Kay A. Smith Colonel, USAF (Retired) Book Review 5: "Wilson’s new book helps readers understand how Takashi Komatsu was influenced by his mentors in the US and Japan. These influences played a major role in his ability to form alliances and work as a catalyst to building the Japanese economy and the strong economic ties between Japan and the US." -- Gary Randazzo Sr. Lecturer, C.T. Bauer College of Business at the University of Houston; Former EVP and General Manager, San Francisco Chronicle and Senior Vice President Houston Chronicle Book Review 6: “When conflicts end, like the current Russian-Ukrainian War, who will be the artists of peace to bring warring partners past the residual anger to cooperation and perhaps friendship? Komatsu was such a man, and his impact seems incomprehensible.” -- Dr. Stan S. Katz Former San Diego World Affairs Council Board Member. Author “The Art of Diplomacy.” Book Review 7: “I was blown away by the volume of Wilson’s research on Japan's geopolitical history and the details of Takashi Komatsu’s life—particularly how they intersected with important global events. Komatsu’s influence on the early years of Japan’s post-WWII recovery and renewed friendship with the US is still felt today, as evidenced by their strong strategic and economic alliances. Wilson’s book illustrates that real life can be as captivating as fiction.” -- Jeff Rankin Retired Editor and Historian, Monmouth College
