 Title -- The Politics of Japanese Defense: Managing Internal and
External Pressures

 Author(s): Joseph P. Keddell, Jr.

 Description: Defense is the most controversial issue in postwar
Japanese politics. The Japanese public's aversion to military
matters and the government's attempts gradually to develop
defense capabilities within the context of the U.S.-Japan
security relationship have resulted in numerous conflicts. Within
this policy context, the ruling Liberal Democratic Party uses
incremental changes to manage conflicting international and
domestic pressures over defense. 
 This book focuses on the establishment of Japanese defense
policy constraints through 1992. It discusses the various
implications of using defense policy as a means of conflict
management.

 Review(s): Explains why Japan has been so reluctant to undertake
a greater role in regional and global security. -- Joint Force
Quarterly; In-depth study. ...shows in detail how increases in
defense spending have taken place by almost imperceptible steps.

 Title -- China's Bitter Victory: The War with Japan, 1937-1945

 Editor(s): James C. Hsiung; Steven I. Levine

 Description: This book is the first comprehensive scholarly
analysis of China'a epochal war with Japan. Striving for a
holistic understanding of China's wartime experience, the
contributors examine developments in the Nationalist, Communist,
and Japanese-occupied areas of the country. Much more than just a
history of battles and conferences, the book portrays the
significant impact of the war on every dimension of Chinese life,
including politics, the economy, culture, legal affairs, and
science. For within the overriding struggle for national
survival, the competition for political power and the striving
for individual and group goals continued. China ultimately
triumphed, but at a price of between 15 and 20 million lives and
vast destruction of property and resources. And China's bitter
victory brought new trials for the Chinese people in the form of
civil war and revolution. This book tells the story of China
during a crucial period pregnant with consequences not only for
China but also for Asia and the world as well. Addressed to
students, scholars, and general readers, the book fills a large
gap in the existing literature on modern Chinese history and on
World War II.

 Review(s): For the student and general reader, the book
assembles in one place a considerable mass of information. -- The
China Quarterly; This is a welcome volume reviewing the impact of
World War II upon China from diverse angles. ... The work is
highly recommended for classroom use. It is informative and
thought provoking. -- Asian Studies Review; This book is the
first scholarly analysis of China's war with Japan from 1937 to
1945: as such, it goes beyond military strategy and historical
events to consider the effects of war on Chinese life, politics,
and culture. China ultimately triumphed but civil war and
revolution were the end results. Learn why. -- The Bookwatch;
This book breaks into new ground. ... Analytical studies of this
scope and depth are scarce and welcome. ... Editors Hsiung and
Levine provide essays which introduce and tie the contributions
of this volume into the historical context. -- Pacific Affairs
