Synopsis
This memoir is primarily concerned with Borton's engagement with Japan as a scholar and as a U.S. foreign policy planner. Bracketed by experiences teaching at Columbia U., as well as some discussion of his early youth, the heart of this book recounts Borton's experience as a U.S. State Department official helping to plan the policies of the occupation of the country following the conclusion of World War II. A Japanese language of this work was published in 1998 under the title Hugh Borton: Sengo Nihon no sekkeisha, Boton kaisoroku. Annotation c. Book News, Inc.,Portland, OR
