“A concise,well-written overview of those controversial years.”
“Utley argues that the path to war was laid in the years before 1940, when American foreign policy ‘managers’ could not see that their apparently moderate actions condemning Japan—from verbal protests to ‘moral’ embargoes—essentially precluded accommodation with Tokyo. . . . The result was an almost classical tragedy . . .succinct and compelling.”
“Clearly and forcefully written.”
