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.
对于道尔叙述的这个精彩的新殖民主义模式下的日本重建,笔者已经遗忘的差不多了,而且作为一本横扫了2000年度美国书评界大奖的历史书籍,参考各位前辈的书评再做评述也更加恰当一些。不过,以上两点只能作为遗憾了,书评的标题不变,本人对道尔的重构解读,依然以“冷战与重建...
评分 评分日本历史上经历过三次大的社会变革,大化改新、明治维新和战后变革。前两次都是以主动学习外国、由本国经营主导完成的变革,而战后变革的过程,却是彻彻底底由美国人主导,经过战后6年的时间完成的变革。而这次变革意义之重大、影响之深远,一直持续至今。可以说战后日...

评分这是我继《菊与刀》之后看的第二本有关与展现一个特殊历史时期的日本全貌的书籍。像《菊与刀》一样,这本《拥抱战败》也无愧于它所获得的诸多图书奖项。麻省理工学院教授约翰·W·道尔以大量的资料、准确的语言、深入的剖析、客观公正的视角评价了二战后的日本,为读者还原了一...
这本书梳理史料的能力牛的吓人。好厉害
评分其实作者的偏见还是挺明显的,不过能把那么多料用这种有趣的笔法抖出来也是蛮厉害。立宪那一段我真的看笑了……
评分对多种史料的收集始终是Dower书一大特色,读来耳目一新。但他没有给出战后日本人为何能广泛接受美国在政治、经济、意识形态方面的领导的根源。另外《金阁寺》中也有讨论战后对美心态的部分,很微妙。

评分对我来说,可以说是日本方面的启蒙书。常读常新。
