The roots of Japan’s aggressive, expansionist foreign policy have often been traced to its concern over acute economic vulnerability. Historian Michael Barnhart tests this assumption by examining the events leading up to World War II in the context of Japan’s quest for economic security. Drawing on a wide array of Japanese and American sources, this is the first English-language book on the war’s origins to be based on research in archives on both sides of the Pacific.
