Prelude to Pearl Harbor - Ideology and Culture in Us-Japan Relations, 19191941

Reconsidering the origins of WWII in Asia and the Pacific, this book focuses on interactions between the United States and Japan during the interwar period. Challenging and amplifying accepted interpretations, Gripentrog argues that competing ideologies-chiefly the rift between internationalism and Pan-Asianism-was at the heart of the conflict.
