Více o knize

Focusing on Japan's evolving quest for national security, the book examines its historical journey from early internationalism to totalitarianism and subsequent conflict in the Pacific. It highlights the shifts in foreign policy, illustrating Japan's transition from reliance on military force for preservation to economic self-interest as a Cold War ally of the U.S. Ultimately, it portrays a contemporary Japan that is moving away from unarmed neutrality, reasserting its security independence in the post-Cold War Asian landscape.
