Ways Of Forgetting, Ways Of Remembering by John W Dower

John Dower is a leading historian on modern Japan. These new reflections look at key 20th century moments in relations between the US and Japan, focusing on Japanese perceptions of the US: how the Japanese saw Hiroshima, American occupation and changes in their lives. Readers also catch a glimpse of Japanese attitudes towards their war crimes. Finally, Dower offers blistering comments on George W. Bush's attempts to justify the invasion of Iraq by citing Dower's own work.

John W. Dower is Professor Emeritus of History at Massachusetts Institute of Technology. He is the author of several books, including War Without Mercy, Cultures of War, and Embracing Defeat, which was the recipient of numerous awards, including the Pulitzer Prize, the National Book Award, the Bancroft Prize, and the Fairbank Prize. He lives in Boston.
