Hirobe' s account is most interesting as a study of the complex entanglements produced by dynamics of regional, national, and international politics." -- American Historical Review |

| Publisher Description: Adding an important new dimension to the history of U.S.-Japan relations, this book reveals that an unofficial movement to promote good feeling between the United States and Japan in the 1920s and 1930s only narrowly failed to achieve its goal: to modify the so-called anti-Japanese exclusion clause of the 1924 U.S. immigration law. |
