Book Review: Experienced Dower sharpens his focus
Summary: 5 Stars
John Dower, whose wife is Japanese, has spent the last thirty years researching the American Occupation which followed World War II. Here he consolidates the sterling work laid down in such books as War without Mercy into a compelling and incisive study of occupied Japan. Unmissable for any student of Twentieth Century history.
