The Diplomatic History
of Postwar Japan
Edited by Makoto Iokibe, National Defence
Academy of Japan & Kobe University, Japan
Translated and Annotated by Robert D. Eldridge,
Osaka University, Japan
Winner of the prestigious
Yoshida Shigeru Prize 1999 for
the best book in public history
when it was published in it’s
original Japanese, this book
presents a comprehensive and
up-to-date overview of Japan’s
international relations from the
end of the Pacific War to the
present. Written by leading
Japanese authorities on the
subject, it makes extensive use
of the most recently declassified
Japanese documents, memoirs, and diaries. It introduces
the personalities and approaches Japan’s postwar leaders
and statesmen took in dealing with a rapidly changing
world and the challenges they faced. Importantly, the
book also discusses the evolution of Japan’s presence on
the international stage and the important – if
underappreciated role – Japan has played.
