After the conclusion of the "Great War," the United States looked with growing apprehension at Japan's escalating territorial expansion amid the worldwide political turmoil engendered by the "Great Depression." To obtain secret information on the plans and objectives of a potential Pacific adversary, U.S. Navy intelligence sends Francis Marian, a young sailor with a near-perfect photographic memory and unusual Chinese and Japanese language skills, to the Philippines. Francis is soon drawn into a conflicting, complex world of clandestine negotiations and secret and dangerous missions in China, Japan, and Indo-China. But the United States is not the only world power seeking information on Japan's plans for supremacy in the Pacific. Hitler's Germany, in its embryonic pursuit of world domination, sends Willy Rosin, posing as the international businessman Werner Breidstein, to the Philippines to determine if Japan can be a viable ally or will become only an impediment to German hegemony in the Pacific. Breidstein's mission transforms into a distorted quest for personal power and revenge of his mother's suspicious death when Willy was a young boy in the Philippines. Breidstein leaves a trail of ruthless murder as he and Marian trust and parry across the lands of the Orient, from China to Japan, to Indo-China, to the islands of Micronesia, and to the Philippines, as Japan is inexorably drawn closer and closer to war with the United States. Shinako Fujimori, a young, innocent Japanese woman, is betrayed by an ambitious Japanese naval officer she expected to marry, but finds solace with Breidstein after her father is assassinated. But she will be betrayed by some. Seeking revenge for her father's murder, she unwittingly becomes instrumental in both Francis and Breidstein separately learning that Japan will attack Pearl Harbor within only hours. As the two men clash in the ensuing hours, startling secrets will be revealed.

In this absorbing account of the origins of the Asia-Pacific War, historian John Gripentrog argues that competing ideologies of world order—chiefly the rift between liberal internationalism and Pan-Asian regionalism—lay at the heart of the conflict. Drawing from a rich diversity of primary and secondary sources, the author also examines the Japanese government’s vigorous cultural diplomacy in the U.S., which sought to win over American hearts and minds and soft-pedal its imperialist ambitions in Asia. The result is a book that both challenges and amplifies standard interpretations of US-Japan relations in the interwar era, while weaving diplomatic, political, intellectual, and cultural history. Moreover, the author’s wide-angle lens offers readers insights into a fascinating assemblage of historical actors—from Japanese and American diplomats, politicians, and military leaders, to cosmopolitan art enthusiasts and major league baseball players.

First published in 1963, Prelude to Pearl Harbor was the first of three books on naval topics for which Prof. Gerald E. Wheeler is remembered today. “During the years 1921 to 1931 American naval leaders faced a problem in some ways similar to the situation after 1947. They were convinced that the United States had a national enemy in Japan. But the United States Congress, like the public that elected it during the 1920’s, was less than impressed; in fact it was positively hostile to any suggestion that America might again go to war. The President and his executive departments—save perhaps the War Department—were also reluctant to accept the Navy’s conclusions or its premises. How the United States Navy solved its problem of preparing for war in an unsympathetic climate of opinion is the story here presented.”—Prof. Wheeler, Preface

Reconsidering the origins of WWII in Asia and the Pacific, this book focuses on interactions between the United States and Japan during the interwar period. Challenging and amplifying accepted interpretations, Gripentrog argues that competing ideologies--chiefly the rift between internationalism and Pan-Asianism--was at the heart of the conflict.

'Magic' was the name given to the American decoding of the secret Japanese codes used in diplomatic communications before and during the Pacific War of 1941-45. This important new work, presenting a Japanese perspective, argues for the first time that in the final phase of the eight months of US-Japan talks leading to the attack on Pearl Harbor, serious mistranslations in Magic were a significant factor in the cumulative effect of mutual misunderstandings which grew between the two sides over a longer period. In spite of the number of historians who take the opposite point of view, the author argues that the efforts made by the participants on both sides to achieve a successful outcome and avert military conflict, or at least delay the outbreak of the war until the following March (1942), might have been much closer to achieving success than generally believed. The mistranslations of Magic which led to the crisis in 1941 were influenced by misunderstanding and misperception, and the persistence of stereotypes and 'images' among the parties involved. The study of these kinds of phenomena has been an important part of the growth of the discipline of international relations since the Second World War.
