Overall, remains a clean, sturdy, presentable copy. NOT a Remainder. NOT a Book-Club Edition. NOT an Ex-Library copy. 8vo. 253pp. Hardback with DJ. In 215 pages, the author, John Curtis Perry managed to captured the basic essence of the American Occupation of Japan after World War II. From the way he writes, it appears to be one of America's finest hours, both as a nation and as a people. Rarely has the two foes who fought such a bitter war against each other, kiss and made up so quickly. As a people, Americans proves to be very magnanimous victors and interestingly enough, the Japanese were very agreeable losers. The book also revealed Douglas MacArthur at his best and considering all the things that should have gone wrong, it was pretty amazing that it went so right. Short, interesting and well written, a very good introductory book on the subject matter.
