John W. Dower. No historian writes with more authority than this leading U.S. historian of modern Japan. MIT professor Dower's new work brings together a number of his essays written between 1993 and 2007, and they show him at the top of his form. He's at his best, and unabashedly critical, when analyzing national hypocrisy and the misuses of history and memory, American as well as Japanese. A set of serious, cautionary reflections from a superb historian.--Publisher's WeeklyFriday, September 14, 2012
