Slight darkening of the edges of the text block, and the previous owner has written a note relating to MacArthur on the front end page.

"Here, with his usual wealth of excitingly vivid detail, he shows us what the Japanese of the day think about Americans, about communists and about the future; he so analyses MacArthur as to make him a comprehensible, if not an altogether sympathetic, figure and finally examines the effect of recent events upon the Far East situation as a whole." -- front fold over blurb.
