U.s.japan Alliance Diplomacy 1945-1990

Based upon extensive American primary sources, this pioneering study of a remarkable post-war relationship traces how the US moved from hostility to close friendship in its relations with Japan over the past forty-five years. By highlighting the main features of each phase of the changing relationship, Professor Roger Buckley explores the degree of continuity in American policies towards Japan, the role of personalities and the beneficiary of foreign policy arrangements. He also analyses how strengthening ties are now the key to peace and stability in the entire Asian Pacific region.Buckley, Roger is the author of 'U.s.japan Alliance Diplomacy 1945-1990' with ISBN 9780521558655 and ISBN 0521558654.
