Frederick R. Dickinson is a leading historian of modern Japan. His academic work explores the intricate dynamics of Japanese society, focusing on its diplomatic relations and the complex interplay of politics and nationalism within Asia. Professor Dickinson's insights offer readers a profound understanding of the forces that have shaped Japan and its place in the world.
In the first full-length study of Japan in the Great War, Dickinson highlights the profound impact of the events of 1914-19 on Japan and argues that the war and the collapse of Japan's model, Imperial Germany, aggravated a tumultuous Japanese domestic debate over national identity that generated a drive for national power in the 1930s.
