1853 年 7 月，海军准将马修·佩里 (Matthew Perry) 驶入东京港，向西方开放日本，美国和日本之间长达一个半世纪的经济、文化冲突以及偶尔发生的暴力冲突开始了。美国著名历史学家之一沃尔特·拉费伯 (Walter LaFeber) 撰写了第一本书，讲述了日本和美国之间的分歧、紧张和小冲突背后的整个故事。日本是一个紧凑、同质、紧密结合的社会，害怕混乱；而美国则是一个庞大、开放的社会，担心经济萧条并不断寻求国际市场。拉费伯利用美国和日本的资料，讲述了日本重新武装的变迁背后的历史、当前美日贸易谈判的紧张局势、日本在为美国巨额赤字提供融资方面的持续重要性，以及两国致力于发展中国的努力——这一阴影从一开始就给美日关系蒙上阴影。 “研究广泛且深入……《冲突》文笔优美，论据清晰，没有任何无关紧要的内容。”——加迪斯·史密斯，《波士顿环球报》“[这部]作品将很容易成为任何语言中最好的美日关系历史。” -Akira Iriye，哈佛大学历史学教授“[LaFeber] 取得了辉煌的成功......[W]研究充分，资料来源详尽，可读性强。”-Don Oberdorfer，《华盛顿邮报图书世界》
When Commodore Matthew Perry sailed into Tokyo harbor in July 1853, opening Japan to the West, a century and a half of economic, cultural, and occasionally violent clashes between Americans and Japanese began. Walter LaFeber, one of America's leading historians, has written the first book to tell the entire story behind the disagreements, tensions, and skirmishes between Japan - a compact, homogenous, closely knit society terrified of disorder - and America - a sprawling, open-ended society that fears economic depression and continually seeks an international marketplace. Using both American and Japanese sources, LaFeber provides the history behind the vicissitudes of rearming Japan, the present-day tensions in U.S.-Japan trade talks, Japan's continuing importance in financing America's huge deficit, and both nations' drive to develop China - a shadow that has darkened American-Japanese relations from the beginning. "Broad and deeply researched...The Clash is beautifully written, with clear arguments and no irrelevancies."-Gaddis Smith, Boston Globe "[This] work will easily become the best history of U.S.-Japanese relations in any language." -Akira Iriye, professor of history, Harvard University "[LaFeber] succeeds brilliantly...[W]ell-researched, meticulously sourced and highly readable."-Don Oberdorfer, Washington Post Book World
