Drawing on a vast range of Japanese sources and illustrated with dozens of astonishing documentary photographs, Embracing Defeat is the fullest and most important history of the more than six years of American occupation, which affected every level of Japanese society, often in ways neither side could anticipate. Dower, whom Stephen E. Ambrose has called "America's foremost historian of the Second World War in the Pacific," gives us the rich and turbulent interplay between West and East, the victor and the vanquished, in a way never before attempted, from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes and fears of men and women in every walk of life. Already regarded as the benchmark in its field, Embracing Defeat is a work of colossal scholarship and history of the very first order. John W. Dower is the Elting E. Morison Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for War Without Mercy.… (mehr)

Obviously an amazing book, it won the Pulitzer Prize. The information on Japan concerning how it coped with the U.S. occupation explains why the U.S. was so successful in its occupation. The key was Japan's acceptance of the occupation. ( )

An even-handed history of the Occupation of Japan, though scant on analysis. Wish it engaged with long-term political and cultural effects of the occupation, both on Japan and globally. ( )

Fróðleg bók um umbrotatíma í Japan í kjölfar síðari heimsstyrjaldar. Dower fer ítarlega yfir kollsteypu japansks samfélags og hvernig það breytist í bókmenntum, iðnaði, fjölskyldutengslum o.s.frv. Hann fer einnig yfir hernám Bandaríkjamanna undir stjórn Douglas McArthurs hershöfðingja og einræðisstjórn hans í landinu þar til hann var rekinn úr starfi af Truman forseta.
Þetta rit snertir ótrúlega marga þætti í japönsku samfélagi og má nefna sem dæmi að Dower fer yfir leiki barna í Japan og hvernig þeir breyttust í kjölfar stríðsins og endurspegluðu hungrið sem svarf að fjölskyldunum og hvernig hernámsliðið sat að einkalestarvögnum meðan japönsk börn köfnuðu vegna þrengsla í lestarvögnum sem ætlaðir voru heimamönnum - líkt og kynþáttastefnan var í BNA og Suður-Afríku. Sömuleiðis er öflugri ritskoðun herstjórnarinnar gerð góð skil en þar var þess krafist að ekki mættu sjást ummerki ritskoðunar og fyrir kom að t.d. kvikmyndir fengju samþykki eftir dúk og disk til birtingar en þegar myndin var komin í sýningu þá skiptu ritskoðendur um skoðun og létu fjarlægja myndina úr dreifingu og allar kópíur sem til voru af henni. Fjárhagstjónið sem af þessu varð skall alfarið á framleiðendum myndarinnar.
Þessi bók fékk fjölda verðlauna á sínum tíma: Pulitzer (1986), National Book Award (1999), Bancroft Prize (2000), National Book Critics Circle Award Nominee (1999), John K. Fairbank Prize í A.-Asíu sagnfræði (1999). Vel að þeim komin og hafirðu áhuga á að kynnast japönsku nútímasamfélagi þá er óhætt að mæla með þessari bók. ( )

This was an excellent overview of Japan in the Post-War period! Highly recommend. ( )

Magnificently researched, incredible book. But not at all engaging. Japan recovered because of MITI and, critically, the huge economic impact of the Korean War. The US invested more in Japan because of this war - and gave its economy more opportunities - than ever in the years before Korea. The context for Rashomon is fascinating - but it is very hard to identify with the details of this book unless you already know about Japan, which I do not at all. ( )
