The roots of Japan's aggressive, expansionist foreign policy have often been traced to its concern over acute economic vulnerability. Historian Michael Barnhart tests this assumption by examining the events leading up to World War II in the context of Japan's quest for economic security. Drawing on a wide array of Japanese and American sources, this is the first English-language book on the war's origins to be based on research in archives on both sides of the Pacific.
Barnhart focuses on the critical years from 1938 to 1941 as he investigates the development of Japan's drive for national economic self-sufficiency and independence and the way in which this drive shaped its internal and external policies. He also explores American economic pressure on Tokyo and assesses its impact on Japan's foreign policy and domestic economy. He concludes that Japan's internal political dynamics, especially the bitter rivalry between its army and navy, played a far greater role in propelling the nation into war with the United States than did its economic condition or even pressure from Washington.
Japan Prepares for Total War sheds new light on prewar Japan and confirms the opinions of those in Washington who advocated economic pressure against Japan. At a time of growing interest in U.S.-Japanese economic relations, this book will be stimulating and provocative reading for scholars and students of international relations and American and Asian history.
理论弱,但历史叙述的画面感很强。
评分案例研究做的并非很好的著作。自然,日本的学者是未必有判断究竟谁导致了太平洋战争的兴趣的,就两国历史学界战后数度会议的成果也仅仅是双方在20年代相互理解不足,加州排日运动所造成的情绪紧张和在各国壁垒森严的时期,日本向外寻求大规模出口扩张的失败与同时期日本军部的独走未能受到有效的约束。这种一般论而已。作者大概是比较早的通过军队文化的变化来理解军队战略偏好在30年代前后的转变从而引向了后来的战争的整理,得到了日本的进攻性现实主义者所追求的军事上的自给自足,从而反应到了整个军事计划的制定上。不过,作者也同时指出,石原的计划是被打断了的,就此,军队在日中战争爆发之后的一系列国际变动中互投赞成票的行为,把战争引向不可收拾的局面。老调常谈,用资料的叙述替代对于现象的解释,多少并不能给人们更多的启发
评分最可怕就是内部都乱了。。。
