Full Description
This book examines the peacetime military relationship between the United Kingdom and Japan spanning partnerships and interactions from the 1860s to the present day.
Reflecting the multiple changes in the power dynamics, relations, and nature of the military links between the U.K. and Japan over time, the chapters in this book analyse instances of peacetime military interaction as both countries passed through periods of partnership, alliance, rivalry, conflict, and occupation. In doing so, the book also considers what relevance these historical U.K.- Japan peacetime military ties have for those of the present.
Original in its exclusive focus on peacetime military links of both a historical and contemporary nature, this significant work is both practical and scholarly in its approach and will appeal to students and scholars of Japanese history, British history, military history, international relations, and diplomacy.
