Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan pdf epub mobi txt 电子书 下载 2024
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize In this groundbreaking biography of the Japanese emperor Hirohito, Herbert P. Bix offers the first complete, unvarnished look at the enigmatic leader whose sixty-three-year reign ushered Japan into the modern world. Never before has the full life of this controversial figure been revealed with such clarity and vividness. Bix shows what it was like to be trained from birth for a lone position at the apex of the nation's political hierarchy and as a revered symbol of divine status. Influenced by an unusual combination of the Japanese imperial tradition and a modern scientific worldview, the young emperor gradually evolves into his preeminent role, aligning himself with the growing ultranationalist movement, perpetuating a cult of religious emperor worship, resisting attempts to curb his power, and all the while burnishing his image as a reluctant, passive monarch. Here we see Hirohito as he truly was: a man of strong will and real authority. Supported by a vast array of previously untapped primary documents, Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan is perhaps most illuminating in lifting the veil on the mythology surrounding the emperor's impact on the world stage. Focusing closely on Hirohito's interactions with his advisers and successive Japanese governments, Bix sheds new light on the causes of the China War in 1937 and the start of the Asia-Pacific War in 1941. And while conventional wisdom has had it that the nation's increasing foreign aggression was driven and maintained not by the emperor but by an elite group of Japanese militarists, the reality, as witnessed here, is quite different. Bix documents in detail the strong, decisive role Hirohito played in wartime operations, from the takeover of Manchuria in 1931 through the attack on Pearl Harbor and ultimately the fateful decision in 1945 to accede to an unconditional surrender. In fact, the emperor stubbornly prolonged the war effort and then used the horrifying bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, together with the Soviet entrance into the war, as his exit strategy from a no-win situation. From the moment of capitulation, we see how American and Japanese leaders moved to justify the retention of Hirohito as emperor by whitewashing his wartime role and reshaping the historical consciousness of the Japanese people. The key to this strategy was Hirohito's alliance with General MacArthur, who helped him maintain his stature and shed his militaristic image, while MacArthur used the emperor as a figurehead to assist him in converting Japan into a peaceful nation. Their partnership ensured that the emperor's image would loom large over the postwar years and later decades, as Japan began to make its way in the modern age and struggled -- as it still does -- to come to terms with its past. Until the very end of a career that embodied the conflicting aims of Japan's development as a nation, Hirohito remained preoccupied with politics and with his place in history. Hirohito and the Making of Modern Japan provides the definitive account of his rich life and legacy. Meticulously researched and utterly engaging, this book is proof that the history of twentieth-century Japan cannot be understood apart from the life of its most remarkable and enduring leader.

HI537 不好的地方有论证冗长且过于重复,线索人物太多很难阅读。但是Bix挑战了裕仁作为“立宪君主”的伪装,虽然不足以证明他是战争中的决定性人物,但他无疑不是一个日本政府刻画出的被军政府愚弄的天皇。
评分太sentimental了。读过所有好的战后日本的书里 都有种浓浓的日本情节。

评分读完之后果然对现代日本的历史和政治现象有了更好的理解,二战中日本的动机,财阀的兴起,对战争反思的欠缺等等。在日本现代历史中,裕仁天皇的角色是无法逾越的。不过想要改变现有的主流认识,恐怕是很困难的,但对于每一个读者而言,这本书却有着很深的昭示。

- 在樂文書店逛時碰到這書。早前讀四方田犬彥的書讀到明治天皇的帝國午宴, 加之之前去沖繩時頗有感觸, 想了解一下日本皇室究竟搞甚麼, 遂起了想去看一本關於日皇裕仁的書. - 這本書十分厚, 讀了近兩週。書日取先寫於2010年, 2016年再版, 台灣2017年初出中文版, 跟得很緊呢. - ...
评分首先,书名是骗大家来看书用的。 封面的英文已经交代了 英文名应该是《 裕仁和现代日本的建立》, 而中文名不但缩小了原著的宏大立意,而且采用畅销书的操作手法,实在很小器。 至于书的内容没有什么新奇, 从未接触过日本历史或者只有单方面信息来源的人可以一看。
评分很多中国人都会骂裕仁,是你丫发动的侵华战争,还有脸道貌岸然地当天皇?我呸!很多中国人会骂,包括不少历史学家也是,但是要他说辩论,他就会哑口无言。日本人会说,天皇是君主立宪君主,只是个宗教和国家象征,每次召开会议时,天皇都是闭口无言,你哪只眼看见他参与国...
评分信息量不大,煌煌一大本,就讲了一句话:裕仁有罪。美国人之所以保他,原因有二:想在战后尽可能顺利接管日本,天皇下台,怕国民抵抗。其次二战之后紧接着美苏冷战,美国人忙着要扶植日本,作为亚洲冷战先锋,兹事体大,以往罪过先放放。直到今天,日本国民拒不认罪,与此干系...
