      abstract = {One of the few non-Japanese Americans trained to read,  write, and speak Japanese, Princeton undergraduate Grant  Goodman had a privileged position during World War II. As  an Army lieutenant, Goodman served in the Philippines at  the close of the war and in Tokyo as an intelligence  officer on General Douglas MacArthur's staff. Goodman  translated thousands of letters, interviews, and other  documents by Japanese citizens of all kinds, and came to  know, as few Americans could, the "hearts and minds" of a  defeated people as they moved slowly to democracy. This  book is a not only a fascinating personal chronicle of  Grant Goodman's unique experience in Japan. Moving deftly  between his role as an Army officer gathering essential  information and as a young scholar fascinated by Japanese  culture, he provides a vividly drawn portrait of daily life  in occupied Tokyo.Here he looks back at signal events:  Japan's responses to occupation, the writing of the new  constitution and the de-deification of the Emperor, the  International Military Tribunal and the issue of Japanese  war crimes, reactions by ordinary Japanese to American  occupiers, and much more.September 2, 2005, marks the 60th  anniversary of the Japanese surrender on the deck of the  USS Missouri. First published in Japanese in 1986,  America's Japan is not only superb history. It is also a  timely reminder of the realities of war and the  responsibilities of victors and vanquished alike.},
