Drawing on a vast range of Japanese sources and illustrated with dozens of astonishing documentary photographs, Embracing Defeat is the fullest and most important history of the more than six years of American occupation, which affected every level of Japanese society, often in ways neither side could anticipate. Dower, whom Stephen E. Ambrose has called "America's foremost historian of the Second World War in the Pacific," gives us the rich and turbulent interplay between West and East, the victor and the vanquished, in a way never before attempted, from top-level manipulations concerning the fate of Emperor Hirohito to the hopes and fears of men and women in every walk of life. Already regarded as the benchmark in its field, Embracing Defeat is a work of colossal scholarship and history of the very first order.
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize, the 1999 National Book Award for Nonfiction, finalist for the Lionel Gelber Prize and the Kiriyama Pacific Rim Book Prize, Embracing Defeat is John W. Dower's brilliant examination of Japan in the immediate, shattering aftermath of World War II.

在很多地方,作者用了前现代的权力关系隐喻去阐释事件,大概有误导人的嫌疑。而写到宪法第九条的来历时,作者将各说法中很关键的一个——“币原说”斥为是“老人常见的错误记忆”,两句话就带过,作者这种做法让人觉得不是很可靠。不过总体而言,读这本书还是挺有收获的。

“大多数日本人面对欺骗太弱智,面对压迫又太没种“,所以被东条等人骗了的日本人”应该为自己的愚蠢承担责任“;日本军人太容易堕入残暴可能是由于”道德和教育的基本缺陷——甚至整个民族信仰核心的某段空白“;可惜战后民间的自省因韩战的爆发被美军的审查机构压制未成气候。现在再看中国的牛奶疫苗,韩国的女星自杀,其实都没强到哪儿去。——都是某种程度对他者的残暴,都被全民迅速地消化掉了。
