Chapters include Mission: Adjustment to the Realities of the 1970's; As Okinawa Goes, So Goes Japan; Mutuality and Mutability in Security Partnership; Detente with Mainland China: Nixon's Billiard Shot; Nixon Shock Number Two: Economic Reciprocity; Textiles: Taxing Tokyo's Tensile Strength; The Changing Art of the Possible; and Two Great Powers in Search of Their Roles. In Ambassador Meyer's words, the purpose of this book is to awaken greater public interest in the gravity of America's relationship with Asia's foremost power, and in the delicacy which must be exercised by those to whom responsibility for the relationship is entrusted. The partnership, so critical to peace in Asia, cannot be taken for granted. The postwar development of Japan has been nothing less than phenomenal. Within a quarter of a century, a nation which was physically devastated and morally crushed rose to become one of the world's three leading industrial powers. But with successes come new problems. By 1969, major adjustments to new realities were necessry--in Japan, and in the all-important relationship between Japan and the United States. This book is his account of the critical issues which were faced, and how they were handled. More

Benjamin Moran (b. Franklin County, Pennsylvania, 1820 – d. Braintree, Essex, on 20 June 1886) worked at the United States Legation (later the US Embassy) in London from 1853 to 1874. In 1853, around the time that James Buchanan, who was from the same county in Pennsylvania as Moran, became US ambassador in London, Moran became a temporary clerk at the legation. In 1854, he gained a permanent post and, in 1857, he was appointed Assistant Secretary and the he was promoted to Secretary, serving until 1874. From 1857, he kept a private diary which was subsequently published; the diary is of interest mainly because it documents how the US Civil War was seen in the UK. Buchanan was elected President and George M. Dallas became Ambassador in London, where Moran stayed. Moran became co-owner of the London-based Spectator magazine, which he used to promote Buchanan's views against a generally hostile, anti-slavery British press. They dramatically altered the tone of the magazine and its circulation declined substantially. It was sold in January 1861, by which time Abraham Lincoln had taken over. In 1875, he was made Minister Resident to Portugal and, since this was the first instance of this kind of promotion in US diplomatic history, some regard him as the first American career diplomat. When the office of Minister Resident was discontinued in 1876, Moran was made Chargé d'Affaires at Lisbon, serving until 1882. More

Edmund Morris (born May 27, 1940) is a British-American writer best known for his biographies of United States Presidents Theodore Roosevelt and Ronald Reagan. Theodore Rex is a straight account of Theodore Roosevelt's Presidency (1901–1909). Morris pointed out that "TR" was a subject so self-explanatory as to obviate any authorial intrusion into the narrative. The book, published by Random House, won the 2001 Los Angeles Times Book Prize for Biography. Colonel Roosevelt, the final book in Morris's Theodore Roosevelt trilogy, came out in 2010. City Journal called it "one of the best biographies in modern literature". In October, 2012 Morris published This Living Hand and Other Essays, an autobiographical collection of pieces on literature, music, and the presidency. The author was a Pulitzer Prize-winner. More
