This Scorching Earth: A Novel of the Occupation of Japan: A Novel of the Occupation of Japan

Donald Richie

4.9/5 (31380 ratings)

Description:The Allied Occupation of Japan was more than an amazing military operation: it also created one of the most singular civilizations of modern history. It was made up of some of America's best minds and some of its worst, of some genuine idealists and some who simply "never had it so good," of women hungry for men, men hungry for power, and a fortunate leavening of ordinary, decent people. It was an astonishing and often terrifying little empire-now as dead as those of the Medes and Persians.All these characters-and many more-are skillfully set into the living mosaic which was the Occupation of Japan, in a dramatic story which pulls no punches. And if the reader thinks he detects himself or his friends (or enemies) among its pages, he will agree this historical novel is quite historical. But it's not often that history gets such controversial, sometimes infuriating, often hilarious, and always stimulating novel-which builds up to a final climax guaranteed to rouse the most jaded reader.We have made it easy for you to find a PDF Ebooks without any digging.
