日本在第二次世界大战结束时战败和被占领的经历，通常是从征服者的角度来审视的。它很少被当作日本的经验来处理。但是，在这本经过大量研究和精美插图的书中，约翰·道尔试图理解战败的日本人在战后寻求重塑自己的身份和价值观时的希望，愿景和梦想（以及绝望和疲惫）。他探讨了日本人千变万化的反应和他们的矛盾：内疚和令人眼花缭乱的解放，选择性遗忘，偶像破坏，新的希望和旧的幻灭。他把他们放在美国占领的背景下，美国占领是高尚的，有远见的，傲慢的和帝国主义的。
Japan's experience of defeat and occupation at the end of the Second World War has most commonly been examined from the point of view of the conquerors. It has rarely been tackled as a Japanese experience. But, in this massively researched and beautifully illustrated book, John Dower attempts to understand the hopes, visions and dreams (as well as the hopelessness and exhaustion) of the defeated Japanese as they sought to remake their identity and values in the aftermath of war. He probes a kaleidoscopic array of Japanese responses and their contradictions: guilt and giddy liberation, selective forgetting, iconoclasm, new hopes and old disillusions. And he places them against the background of an American Occupation which was at once high-minded and visionary, arrogant and imperialist.
