| Sommario/riassunto: | Based on scores of interviews with participants in the process, as well as exhaustive research in Japanese and American records, this is the definitive story of how the United States attempted to turn Japan into a democratic and peace-loving nation by drafting a new constitution for its former enemy--and then pretending that the Japanese had written it. |
