About this title

Synopsis

Describes Commodore Perry's expedition to "open" Japan to international trade and places this episode in the context of American imperial ambitions

Reviews

Commodore Matthew Perry sailed for Japan in 1853, intent on securing ports for a Pacific steamship line between San Francisco and Shanghai, and preventing British monopolization of the China trade. "As vivid as a ship's log, as engrossing as a good novel, Wiley's sweeping chronicle casts fresh light on U.S.
Japanese relations," said PW. Photos.
