Summary
"Reconsidering the origins of World War II in the Pacific, this book focuses on the interactions between the United States and Japan between the two world wars. Challenging accepted interpretations, Gripentrog argues that ideology and culture--particularly the rift between liberal internationalism and Pan-Asianism--was at the heart of the conflict"-- Provided by publisher.
