Japan Prepares for Total War: The Search for Economic Security, 1919-1941

Michael A. Barnhart

4.9/5 (22281 ratings)

Description:Ever since Pearl Harbor, the roots of Japan's aggressive, expansionist foreign policy have been traced to its concern over its acute economic vulnerability. Historian Michael Barnhart tests this assumption by examining the events leading up to World War II in the context of Japan's quest for economic security. Drawing on a wide array of Japanese and American sources, his is the first English-language book on the war's origins to be based on research in archives on both sides of the Pacific.Barnhart focuses on the critical years from 1938 to 1941 as he investigates the birth and growth of interwar Japan's drive for autarky and the ways in which this drive shaped its internal and external policies. He also explores American economic pressure on Tokyo and assesses its impact on Japan's foreign policy and domestic economy. He concludes that Japan's internal political dynamics, especially the bitter rivalry between its army and navy, played a far greater role in propelling the nation into war with the United States than did its economic condition or even pressure from Washington.Japan Prepares for Total War sheds new light on prewar Tokyo and restores the reputation of those in Washington who advocated economic pressure against the Pacific nation. At a time of growing interest in U.S.-Japanese economic relations, this book will be stimulating and provocative reading for scholars and students of international relations and American and Asia history.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
