Sliding to War: History-defining Negotiations and Japan's Defeat (cape Books)
About This Novel
2017 Ikuniya Humanities Award, the final work of Kato Yoko's "War Trilogy". Why does Japan, which has been asked three times by the world "Which side to choose", always slides into war? An in-depth analysis of Japan's path to war and the secret of the diplomatic mistakes behind Japan's war. Before the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941, the world tested Japan's choices through three diplomatic incidents. However, Japan ultimately failed to choose the right path. This book is the last part of the "War Trilogy" by Yoko Kato, a history professor at the University of Tokyo, Japan. It uses diplomatic negotiations as the entry point and focuses on three choices in Japan's history, namely how to deal with the "September 18th" incident, whether to join the German-Italian-Japanese Triple Alliance, and whether the relationship with the United States will be war or peace? Describe in detail the ins and outs of Japan's final "slide" into the vortex of World War II. Based on rigorous historical research and extensive archival materials, the author conducts an in-depth analysis of Japan's political, diplomatic and media environment, analyzes Japan's diplomatic decision-making mistakes before World War II, and reveals the deep reasons why Japan chose the path of war many times in modern history, especially during World War II when it chose to confront the United States and ultimately failed.
