From the Publisher:
In the years and months leading up to Pearl Harbor, Japan was becoming the most industrialized state in Asia as well as the repository of a feudal heritage that fueled imperial ambitions of conquest and hegemony. Across the Pacific, the United States was emerging from the depression and again growing into its role as a global power. Today's partnership between modern Japan--now Asia's most well-developed democracy--and the United States--the world's sole superpower--was forged by the confrontation, and finally the reconciliation, of these two competing agendas and cultures in WWII, personified by two men: General Douglas MacArthur and Emperor Hirohito.
About the Author:
MacArthur, the brilliant and often arrogant American maverick who was elevated to the level of popular hero and policy maker, and Hirohito, the passive intellectual heir considered a divinity by his people, seem at the outset the most unlikely enemies in war, let alone partners in peace. Under Harvey's scrutiny, however, these superficial characterizations give way to a much more nuanced narrative as well as a revealing portrait of these extraordinary figures.
American Shogun delivers a remarkable account of the vast divide that led to war, and to the unforeseen commonality that helped develop a lasting peace.
Robert Harvey is a distinguished journalist and former Minister of Parliament and the author of numerous books, including A Few Bloody Noses and Liberators. He commutes between Wales and England.
