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.
