Embracing Defeat is an outstanding book, offering the most thorough treatment in any language of Japanese politics, society, and culture in the immediate aftermath of the Second World War. John Dower leaves few questions unexplored as he probes deeply into the ways in which the Japanese struggled to come to terms with their nation's defeat. Too often the story has been presented through the lens of the US occupation of Japan, but in this book it is Japanese people, not occupation personnel, who emerge as principal actors and definers of their destiny.... A worthy sequel to Dower's monumental history of the Pacific War, War Without Mercy.
