Japanese Workers and the Struggle for Power, 1945-1947

Traditional Western accounts of postwar Japan's democratization have stressed the apparent ease and inevitability of that process. The resulting historical perspective, Joe Moore contends, seriously distorts reality. Drawing on essential and unmined data, including national archive records of the early Occupation, Moore unmasks an agitated, divided, and potentially explosive Japan in the years immediately following World War II.Moore, Joe B. is the author of 'Japanese Workers and the Struggle for Power, 1945-1947' with ISBN 9780299093204 and ISBN 0299093204.
