Descripción de contraportada
From the Preface of Cultures of War:
"I began researching and writing this study shortly after September 11, 2001, when comparisons between Al Qaeda's surprise attack and Japan's at Pearl Harbor six decades earlier flooded the media in the United States. Japan and World War II in Asia have drawn my attention as a historian for many years, and analogies between the new conflict and the old one were provocative in unanticipated ways--increasingly so, as it turned out, as 9-11 spilled into the U.S.-led war of choice in Iraq, and that war and ensuing occupation in turn led to chaos and great suffering in a supposedly liberated land."
Praise for John W. Dower's War Without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War
Winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award
"One of the handful of truly important books on the Pacific War . . . a cautionary tale for all peoples, now and in the future."--Foreign Affairs
"May well be the most important study of the Pacific War ever published."--New Republic
Praise for Dower's Embracing Defeat: Japan in the Wake of World War II
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the National Book Award
"Extraordinarily illuminating . . . the most significant work to date on the postwar era in Japan."--Wall Street Journal
"Magisterial and beautifully written. . . . [A] richly nuanced book. . . . A pleasure to read."--New York Times Book Review
"One senses that Dower set out to write the most important Japan book in a generation (and perhaps more). The uplifting news is that he has succeeded. . . . A masterpiece."--The Nation
