Summary: rambling journalistic account of US-Japan relations
Comment: It is unclear to me for whom this book is intended. It is a chatty account of US-Japan relations -- sort of the great man approach to history -- at its worst. (We learn, for example, that Dr. Kurt Campbell, the deputy assistant secretary of defense, plays the violin and once lost a tennis doubles match to John McEnroe. Really. I'm not making this up.) Despite the fact that it is published by the Council of Foreign Relations, it is too rambling and journalistic to appeal to foreign policy analysts. On the other hand, at 500 pages, I can't imagine it appealing to a broad audience of people interested in Japan. Probably, its main appeal will be to the Washington and Tokyo insiders whose names appear in the index.
