As Edwin O. Reischauer, former ambassador to Japan, has pointed out, this book offers “a lesson that the postwar generations need most . . . with eloquence, crushing detail, and power.”\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003csmall\u003eProduct image is for illustration purposes only and may not be an exact representation of the product offered for sale.\u003c\/small\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pantheon, 1986","offers":[{"title":"War without Mercy: Race and Power in the Pacific War \/ Very Good","offer_id":54064830906660,"sku":"9780394500300VG","price":9.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0714\/9951\/4148\/files\/public_7e1e89c8-507b-40db-afcb-a491d54462d2.jpg?v=1781793657","url":"https:\/\/brookingsbooks.com\/products\/9780394500300","provider":"Brookings Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
