Download or read book Ten Years in Japan written by Joseph C. Grew and published by Read Books Ltd. This book was released on 2014-12-03 with total page 716 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Ten Years in Japan is a fascinating and unique look inside the government of Japan before and during the attack on Pearl Harbour. Written from the detailed personal diaries of Joseph C. Grew the American ambassador based in Tokyo from 1932 and up until war was declared in the beginning of 1942. This book deals, as is right and proper, primarily with American-Japanese relations. But for British readers it has a special interest because it covers a period during which British and American policies in the Orient followed parallel lines; a period when the two Governments were grappling with problems always similar and sometimes identical. The interest is not lessened by the peeps that we get of what were, in fact, unremitting efforts on the part of the Japanese to sow discord between Britain and America on the principle of 'divide et impera.'

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In October 1943 a small group of Mongolian pilgrims set off westward from Inner Mongolia. Before them lay a confused battleground where the Japanese and rival armies of Chinese and Mongolians fought over the fate of Central Asia. Among the pilgrims was a young monk named Dawa Sangpo beginning what was probably the greatest travel adventure undertaken by anyone of his nationality in this century; for he was not Mongolian at all, but an enterprising Japanese named Hisao Kimura.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Conformist, mute and malleable? Andrews tackles head-on this absurd caricature of Japanese society in his fascinating history of its militant sub-cultures, radical societies and well-established traditions of dissent Following the March 2011 tsunami and Fukushima nuclear crisis, the media remarked with surprise on how thousands of demonstrators had flocked to the streets of Tokyo. But mass protest movements are nothing new in Japan and the post-war period experienced years of unrest and violence on both sides of the political spectrum: from demos to riots, strikes, campus occupations, faction infighting, assassinations and even international terrorism. This is the first comprehensive history in English of political radicalism and counterculture in Japan, as well as the artistic developments during this turbulent time. It chronicles the major events and movements from 1945 to the new flowering of protests and civil dissent in the wake of Fukushima. Introducing readers to often ignored aspects of Japanese society, it explores the fascinating ideologies and personalities on the Right and the Left, including the student movement, militant groups and communes. While some elements parallel developments in Europe and America, much of Japan's radical recent past (and present) is unique and offers valuable lessons for understanding the context to the new waves of anti-government protests the nation is currently witnessing.

Download or read book Ten Years in Japan written by Joseph C. Grew and published by Pickle Partners Publishing. This book was released on 2017-07-31 with total page 988 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: America’s Ambassador to Tokyo for the ten years before Pearl Harbor tells the full story of how and why America went to war with Japan. He draws that story from three first-hand sources: his own day-to-day diaries, his personal and official correspondence, and his dispatches to the State Department. From this huge mass of material, he has woven together a chronological narrative of history in the making. President Hoover sent Ambassador Grew to Japan in 1932 because he needed the best diplomat we had to save a desperate situation. The Japanese militarists had already seized Manchuria. They had assassinated half a dozen outstanding moderate statesmen. They were preparing to quit the League, scrap Washington Treaties, and dominate Asia and the Far Pacific. Ambassador Grew’s mission had two purposes. One was to uphold American rights in the Far East. The other was to avoid war. The attitude of the Japanese made it impossible for the U.S. to pursue both these policies indefinitely, but Ambassador Grew’s diplomacy postponed the showdown, preserved the peace, and upheld America’s national honor. Ten Year in Japan tells for the first time the full, inside story of the decade of conflict, intrigue, and surprise that culminated in the inevitable tragedy of war.
