SYNOPSIS: This is the story by an American foreign service officer of a career that spanned the middle third of our troubled century. Japan became his special field, the thread of the story, which he knew first in the militaristic thirties, then in the postwar Occupation, again in the mid-sixties when he was there as U.S. minister, his last post before retirement. The year of Pearl Harbor, seen from within and outside the American embassy in Tokyo; a mission to Communist Chinese headquarters in Yenan in 1944 and a meeting with Mao; Cold War days in Mosco; Emmerson's Kafkaesque experience in the McCarthy period, when he was investigated and cleared and reinvestigated and cleared, but kept from those areas where his expertise would have been invaluable--these are highlights in a book as impressive for its detailed account of the daily business of foreign service as for its authentic historical contributions. To the literature of foreign service, with uncommon modesty and candor, Mr. Emmerson has added a classic. John K. Emmerson is now a Senior Research Fellow at the Hoover Institution, Stanford University. He and his wife, Dorothy, live in Los Altos Hills, California, and spend part of each year in Nikko, Japan, where they have a house on the grounds of a Buddhist temple.
