This illuminating study explores the ways in which the shattering defeat of the Japanese in World War II, followed by over six years of American military occupation, affected every level of Japanese society. The author describes the countless ways in which the Japanese met the challenge of "starting over", from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes, fears, and activities of ordinary men and women in every walk of life.

Well done, author

I haven’t found many books covering this subject. They are more interested in the war. But this was well covered and very readable (or listenable) in spite of not having much competition.
A subject like this can easily become mired in statistics that cause the eyes to glaze over. A little of that, but without it you miss part of the stories.
Thanks to all who made this book happen.
