The Currents of War: A New History of American-Japanese Relations, 1899-1941 (Studies in Conflict, Diplomacy and Peace)
"Pash's work represents a new wave of scholarship examining Japanese-U.S. relations, as well as World War II in Asia." -- G. Kurt Piehler, Florida State University"Pash is not content to write traditional narrative diplomatic history in his ambitious and compelling study of U.S-Japanese relations from the late 19th Century to the outbreak of the Pacific War in 1941. Instead, he writes 'revisionist' history in the best sense of the word--as a cautionary tale of mistakes and lessons that should not be repeated but often are." -- J. Garry Clifford, University of Connecticut"This fascinating book gives insight into the competitive relationship between the United States and Japan from 1899--1941." -- The Lone Star Book Review
