Paperback. Zustand: Very Good. The Violent American Century addresses the US-led transformations in war conduct and strategising that followed 1945 - beginning with brutal localised hostilities, proxy wars, and the nuclear terror of the Cold War, and ending with the asymmetrical conflicts of the present day. The military playbook now meshes brute force with a focus on non-state terrorism, counterinsurgency, clandestine operations, a vast web of overseas American military bases, and - most touted of all - a revolutionary new era of computerised 'precision' warfare.…

Hardback. Zustand: Good. Looks at Japanese politics, economics and society, to explore the continuity between wartime Japan and peacetime Japan. The book draws on decades of research to present a study that looks at what lies behind Japanese society today. He argues persuasively that the origins of many of the institutions responsible for Japan's dominant position in today's global economy derive from the rapid military industrialization of the 1930s, and not from the post-occupation period as previous accounts have implied. The book begins with an incisive account that shows that Japan's post-war political and economic structure was prefigured in the wartime organization of that country. Then Dower looks beyond the popular images of Japan - whether the idea of the "fanatical nation-at-war" or the semi-mystical "economic miracle nation" - to examine the tensions within Japanese society that have shaped its attitude to the rest of Asia and the West. He discusses the stereotypes that both Japan and the West used in order to demonize each other during the war, and explores the ways in which these stereotypes have endured to this day.
