Focusing on American hegemony in occupied Japan, the book challenges the notion of a near-monopoly held by the United States in postwar development. It argues that American dominance was not only limited but also diminished over time. Furthermore, it highlights the transformation of Japan from a former adversary to a key ally in the Asia-Pacific, illustrating the complexities of international relations in the region during this period.
