Summary: |
Background of a Japanese politician whose "public career of more then 50 years embraced both Japan's prewar
and postwar periods... Included are transcripts of interpellations in the Diet during the period of Japan's military
build-up prior to WWII--especially meaningful now with the perspective of time--and personal recollections
of such figures from the past as Marquis Okuma and Prince Konoe... Though unanimously approved by
the Japanese Diet, Mr. Tsutsumi's account of behind-the-scene activities within the ruling party at
this time (1956) reveals that actually the restoration of Russo-Japanese relations was a divisive
and bitterly contested issue among Japan's leading politicians.... Intimate knowledge of the personalities and
closed-door discussions involved has resulted in an exceptionally revealing presentation of the
actual circumstances prevailing in Japanese political circles then--and continuing to the present day..." CLICK THE "MORE IMAGES" LINK ABOVE TO SEE MORE OF THIS TITLE |
