The Pacific Basin Since 1945 (The Post) [Paperback]

Roger C. Thompson (Author)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0582021278 | ISBN-13: 978-0582021273 | Publication Date: April 4, 1995 | Edition: 1

This ambitious study is the first to link together in a single integrated account the postwar interrelationships of all the rim nations of the Pacific Basin -- in East and Southeast Asia, Australia, North and South America and the Pacific islands. Major themes explored here are the creation of Japan's new economic order in the region; the United States' crusades against communism, real and imagined, in Asia and Latin America; nationalist struggles for independence against colonial rule; and the shifting patterns of conflict and co-operation between the rim states themselves.
