An ambitious analytical history tracing Japanese and American political relations by dividing the events into two essential periods, one geopolitical (1853-1945) and the other geo-economic (1945 to the present). Nester (government, St. John's U.) examines the cultural perceptions, national interests, and shifting power relations converging as the two countries encountered each other in war and peace, marking the diplomatic efforts of US administrations from Eisenhower to Clinton and speculating on future international concerns and interests for Japan and the US.
