Paperback. 2006. 502 pages. <br>480 pages, 16 unnumbered pages of plates : 25 cm From the latter half of the nineteenth century through to the mid -twentieth, America and Japan were caught in an extraordinary pol itical, military and economic duel. The clash between one of the newest cultures in the world and one of the oldest was characteri zed by a cultural incompatibility that was to haunt the relations hip between Emperor Hirohito and General MacArthur. Hirohito was a remarkable man. Diffident, uncharismatic and apparently obtuse, he survived as a god-ruler of Japan for some six decades through internal strife, war, defeat, occupation and economic victory. T he country he ran was no less extraordinary. In the course of his rule Japan ricocheted from minor power to the greatest empire in Asian history, then through atomic annihilation to eventual reha bilitation as the world's second strongest economy. He met his eq ual in General Douglas MacArthur and the superpower he represente d. MacArthur's career spanned an astonishing tranche of American history from the First World War to Korea. Brash and domineering, he wielded massive power and played a key American foreign polic y role in Asia. For his single-handed rule over Japan he could ev en be said to merit the honorary Japanese epithet 'shogun' or arm y leader. In this dual biography Robert Harvey traces their tense and complex relationship. His broad scope encompasses two great nations in war and peace - a momentous period of history which pr ovides illuminating insight into American actions across the worl d today.--BOOK JACKET Includes bibliographical references (pages 460-472) and index ., John Murray, 2006, 3, Allen & Unwin, Australia, 1999.
