How, then, did the Japan Self-Defense Forces (JSDF) survive, moreover, evolve over the ensuing 70 years into the prominent presence it is today? Sado Akihiro reviews the JSDF's history chiefly from the viewpoint of restrictions imposed on it by civil officials of the national bureaucracy, based on lessons gleaned from the arbitrary conduct of the military in pre-World War II days. He also explores the financial constraints placed on the JSDF in the form of a percentage of the GNP. This book traces the inside story of U.S.-Japan relations and Japan's defense policy. It attempts to shine a light on the true state of the JSDF in the midst of new challenges that put it at a crossroads, including post-9/11 international terrorism, North Korean nuclear development, and China's increased military presence in Asia"--Back cover. 000776095 546__ $$aTranslated into English from Japanese. 000776095 651_0 $$aJapan$$xDefenses$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000776095 651_0 $$aJapan$$xArmed Forces$$xHistory$$y20th century. 000776095 7001_ $$aNoda, Makito,$$etranslator. 000776095 830_0 $$aJapan library (Shuppan Bunka Sangyō Shinkō Zaidan) 000776095 85200 $$bgen$$hUA845$$i.S23313$$i2017 000776095 909CO $$ooai:library.usi.edu:776095$$pGLOBAL_SET 000776095 980__ $$aBIB 000776095 980__ $$aBOOK
