FIRST Edition Hardcover. 364 pages; (750 grams); **** [ INTERNATIONAL ORDERS (Non-USA & NON-Canada) = SURFACE ONLY Please; SORRY, NO overseas AIRMAIL Orders will be accepted on this HEAVY Book]; **** "Following Japan's unconditional surrender in August 1945, the Allies imposed on her a constitution by which the people of Japan forever renounce war. But did the Allies thereby succeed in exorcising the dark spectre of Japanese militarism? In Sheathing the Sword, the authors trace the fall and rise of militarism in Japan over the four decades since Hiroshima. The story begins in Washington with a handful of State Department officials who, even as the Marines were struggling bloodily from Guadalcanal to Okinawa, sat bickering over Japan's future. With the surrender, the scene shifts to Tokyo for the seven years of the Allied (primarily American) Occupation spearheaded by General Douglas MacArthur. Drawing on original source material, the authors describe American efforts to demilitarise her former enemy the 'humanisation' of the god-Emperor; the purge without trial of 200,000 militarists: and the disastrous prosecution, Nuremberg style, of Hideki Tojo. But, while sonic Americans were struggling to disarm Japan, others were secretly working to preserve the Imperial High Command, as a framework within which to rebuild Japan as an effective ally in the Cold War. Today Japan has the world's eighth largest arms budget, and her critics scent a return to militarist ways. The authors assess the capabilities of the unconstitutional 'Self-Defense Forces'; Japan's potential for manufacturing nuclear weapons; the hawkish philosophy of her Prime Minister, Yasuhiro Nakasone; her relations with China and the Soviet Union: and the numerous incidents of right-wing fanaticism, of which Mishima's suicide is just one example. In the late 1980s the issue of Japanese remilitarisation has never been more vital. Oppressed by the burden of her global obligations, America needs Japan's help as never before. Pressure on Japan to rearm fully, abandoning the pledge to renounce war, has readied a new peak. But can America succeed in undoing the effects of her own demilitarisation programme? Can she overcome the peace constitution? And, if she does succeed, what will be the cost - to the people of Japan, the Asian region and the rest of the world?" Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.

Cloth. Condition: As New. Dust Jacket Condition: FINE+ Near New DJ. PHOTO Cover! (illustrator). FIRST Edition Hardcover. Hamish Hamilton Ltd.; 188 pages. (325 grams) " A Second Skin begins on an osteopath's couch. 'What I do not understand,' the osteopath is saying, 'is why if you arc the optimist you claim to be you should be wearing black underpants.' It is a question to which Edward Blishen has no ready answer, being at that stage in life when the highest of hopes are quickly followed by the lowest of despairs. It's not just a matter of discovering that he's mortal a fragile machine for which no instruction booklet was ever issued. It's occupational uncertainties, too: like his doubts about his role of external examiner in colleges of education. His visits organised as if he were some sort of educational archbishop, how can he make clear his disapproval of courses in Eng Lit in which students who've not quite managed to digest Langland and Chaucer are still gagging on the Elizabethans as their instructors place in front of them great steaming dishes of Augustinians and Romantics and Victorians? Then there's the world of children's books, and the problems of his friend William, the illustrator, who wants to draw a naked man as a naked man. ('You want me to draw in a little leaf? A bunch of grapes?') Meanwhile, at home, parenthood has become a stark embarrassment: each child's room, once a tender nest, is now a dissident IIQ. lie flies to Korea for an international literary conference on humour which sets out to establish its universality, and ends by demonstrating the opposite. There he meets the formidable Miss Yim ('I am translating Two City Tales by your Charles Dickens. But I have finished writing about your exhausting George Eliot.') At war with nicotine, happy on holiday in Suffolk, Wales, the Mediterranean, he finds himself passing through that period of life when you grow a second skin: not in order to become thick-skinned, but to be thin-skinned in greater comfort. Edward Blishen has never been in better form, whatever the thickness of his skin." Size: 8vo - over 7¾" - 9¾" tall. Book.

Hardcover. Condition: Very Good. Dust Jacket Condition: Very Good. First. This book is about the artist Diego Velazquez , who was not merely a great painter , but was also a great courtier. His art was a reflection of his activities as a high functionary. , and his art is pertinent to the time of the disintergration of the great and grand court of Spain , which was at the centre of an Empire breaking up. His art thus provides a record of this tragic crisis. The book is internally very clean and bright , with a prize award sticker to the inner front page. The jacket is showing some shelf wear and the laminate is coming from the spine of the dust jacket near the base ., but this does not detract from the book. Illustrated throughout , the cover shows a portrait of the Count - Duke of Olivares astride his horse. Book.
