John W. Dower is the Elting E. Morison Professor of History at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is a winner of the National Book Critics Circle Award for War Without Mercy.
Drawing on a vast range of Japanese sources and illustrated with dozens of astonishing documentary photographs, Embracing Defeat is the fullest and most important history of the more than six years of American occupation, which affected every level of Japanese society, often in ways neither side could anticipate. Dower, whom Stephen E. Ambrose has called "America's foremost historian of the Second World War in the Pacific," gives us the rich and turbulent interplay between West and East, the victor and the vanquished, in a way never before attempted, from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes and fears of men and women in every walk of life. Already regarded as the benchmark in its field, Embracing Defeat is a work of colossal scholarship and history of the very first order.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the 1999 National Book Award for Nonfiction, finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize, Embracing Defeat is John W. Dower's brilliant examination of Japan in the immediate, shattering aftermath of World War II.

這是一部描寫日本戰後政治製度構造重建的一本好書,作者也因此獲得普利策和費正清奬。作者闡述瞭日本戰後政治製度的構造乃至經濟模式,在很大程度上是日本戰前體製和美國占領文化的結閤。日本戰後的政治清算不徹底,關鍵是由於占領軍齣於冷戰政策或者政治占領穩定因素的考慮,...

評分一衣帶水的鄰邦,承繼瞭中華文化卻又獨立發展的日本曆史,對於留學東京的我總是有這揮之不去的魅力。說起日本曆史,每個中國人都想起日本侵華戰爭對我們造成的傷害,我們應當去銘記那段曆史,同時也應該瞭解當時及被美軍單獨占領以後的日本是怎樣的狀態。這本書在很多方麵給瞭...

評分都說曆史是厚重的。初時的理解是,因為曆史承載瞭太多的事中人和人中事,現世的人和事在曆史的車轍下會被碾壓,塵埃微粒而已。 讀瞭《擁抱戰敗》,我似乎讀動瞭這份“厚重”,因為他包含瞭太多的醜陋和不堪。這份“厚重”推不動,它需要各色人等來演繹統治階層編寫好的的曆史劇...

對我來說,可以說是日本方麵的啓濛書。常讀常新。
評分John Dower是研究日本的一位大牛人
評分對多種史料的收集始終是Dower書一大特色,讀來耳目一新。但他沒有給齣戰後日本人為何能廣泛接受美國在政治、經濟、意識形態方麵的領導的根源。另外《金閣寺》中也有討論戰後對美心態的部分,很微妙。
評分本意是當文獻跳著翻,卻總不自覺地連看一兩章。好多處讀到emotional。可惜不是每一次的學術閱讀都像這樣愉悅。
評分“大多數日本人麵對欺騙太弱智,麵對壓迫又太沒種“,所以被東條等人騙瞭的日本人”應該為自己的愚蠢承擔責任“;日本軍人太容易墮入殘暴可能是由於”道德和教育的基本缺陷——甚至整個民族信仰核心的某段空白“;可惜戰後民間的自省因韓戰的爆發被美軍的審查機構壓製未成氣候。現在再看中國的牛奶疫苗,韓國的女星自殺,其實都沒強到哪兒去。——都是某種程度對他者的殘暴,都被全民迅速地消化掉瞭。
