\u003cdiv\u003e\u003cB\u003eWhen American Occupation troops withdrew from Japan did they leave behind a truly independent country? Or did they leave in place a behind\u0026#150;the\u0026#150;scenes network that determined much of the course of Japanese politics for decades to come?\u003c/B\u003e\u003cBR\u003e\u003cBR\u003ePainstakingly researched, by authors who have between them over fifty years of experience in Japan, this book looks at aspects of the Japan\u0026#150;U.S. relationship that others have missed or avoided. At the heart of the book is the story of how a few men reversed the original policies of the Occupation, and went on to create a web of money and influence connecting Washington, New York, Tokyo, and Riyadh. These men set the stage for postwar bilateral relations, intrigues, and manipulations. Making their appearance on this carefully\u0026#150;set stage are the well\u0026#150;connected arms dealer, Adnan Khasshoggi, several Japanese prime ministers, Emperor Hirohito, by way of a personal \"message,\" the Reverend Sung Myung Moon, and the self\u0026#150;described \"world's richest fascist.\"\u003cBR\u003e\u003cBR\u003eA combination of investigative journalism and scholarly research, \u003cI\u003eAn Occupation Without Troops\u003c/I\u003e provides a startling new understanding of the Japanese-U.S. relationship. This pioneering book is essential reading for anyone who hopes to gain a true grasp of relations between these two countries since World War II.\u003cBR\u003e\u003c/div\u003e |
