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.
一衣带水的邻邦,承继了中华文化却又独立发展的日本历史,对于留学东京的我总是有这挥之不去的魅力。说起日本历史,每个中国人都想起日本侵华战争对我们造成的伤害,我们应当去铭记那段历史,同时也应该了解当时及被美军单独占领以后的日本是怎样的状态。这本书在很多方面给了...
評分都说历史是厚重的。初时的理解是,因为历史承载了太多的事中人和人中事,现世的人和事在历史的车辙下会被碾压,尘埃微粒而已。 读了《拥抱战败》,我似乎读动了这份“厚重”,因为他包含了太多的丑陋和不堪。这份“厚重”推不动,它需要各色人等来演绎统治阶层编写好的的历史剧...

評分作为战败国的日本,在短短的十多年时间,能够从近代国家完成了向现代国家彻底转型,毫无疑问,推进这种转型的力量,全部来自美国的占领。战败的日本人,在战争战败之后的震惊中,所发生的剧烈转变,对以美国为首的西方的全方位的接受,推崇,所带来的从社会风尚、社会心理、文...

评分在很多地方,作者用瞭前現代的權力關係隱喻去闡釋事件,大概有誤導人的嫌疑。而寫到憲法第九條的來曆時,作者將各說法中很關鍵的一個——“幣原說”斥為是“老人常見的錯誤記憶”,兩句話就帶過,作者這種做法讓人覺得不是很可靠。不過總體而言,讀這本書還是挺有收獲的。
