“Now the man of destiny had arrived in the land of his destiny, unarmed, confident, and in command of the situation. He was, as always, impatient and restless, for there was work to do, after the formal Japanese surrender.”
Ambassador Sebald shares his unique observations of the implementation of the American Occupation of Japan by MacArthur and the sometimes acrimonious struggle between civilian, military, and Japanese elements.
